How do you count the letter within a field? Also can I do an if statement that changes the color of this field. ie. red.

Thanks in advance.

Length()

If you wish to use in conditional formatting, the calculation must evaluate to Boolean true (1) so the 'If' or 'Case' is already implemented, just as in If[] script-step. Type the calculation that you want to evaluate to true.

Length ( fieldA ) > 150

... and below specify red.

It looks like to me that length does not include the spaces between words. Am I correct? If so, how would I count every character including the spaces.

Also--

... and below specify red.

Having trouble getting the red. Currently the fomula evaluated to 1. To make the cell red-Do I put it in the calculation? :hmm:

Length does include the spaces.

Select the field then right click and select conditional formatting. Use LaRetta's calculation as the Formula and choose the fill colour you need.

BUT you show that you use version 8 - no conditional formatting

If (Length ( field ) <150; TextColor ( Length (field) ; RGB ( 255 ;0 ; 0 ) ); Length(field))

I think you meant =

If (Length ( field ) <150; TextColor ( field ; RGB ( 255 ;0 ; 0 ) ); field)

This should be an auto enter calculation (replacing existing value). However, it won't work to remove the color when adding characters, so try:

TextColor ( YourField ; Case ( Length ( YourField ) < 150 ; RGB ( 255 ; 0 ; 0 )  )  )
