Using Text Functions in Conditional Replace Text

  1. Select the area of the grid you want to edit, and then select the target corner cell, column header, row header, or data cell.
  2. Under Conditional Properties, add or edit a Conditional Format/Text definition. If you are adding a definition, specify its condition.
  3. On the Conditional Format tab, click On to enable the Replace Text. Click Replace Text Function to select and insert a text function.

  4. Select a text function and enter the required parameters. You can combine literal text with one or more text functions.
