Hi Experts! I am trying to formulate the best way to create conditional formatting rules to be able to highlight the whole row based on the words found in column G.

Basically, column G contains all the status of the processing of the macro. It is consist of a sentence or two. I want the rule to highlight the whole row when it detects either one of the words/phrases within the sentence like "with warnings" or "With warning" or "with errors" or "with error" or "was terminated". I was able to formulate using format only cells that contains the following words, however, it is not working whenever i am putting the whole sentence. It only works whenever i only put "with warnings" in the cell. Hope you can help. Thanks!

Sample status below:

JOB_ AVCDDE_123456 Script completed with warnings or remainders. There was 1 warning message. There were no remainder messages. Script ran for 52 minutes and 31 seconds. (Elapsed: 3151 Interactive: 0 Processing: 3151)
 
Re: How to formulate

glad that we finally got it working.

basically the formula looking for "warning message" within the cell, and move back a few characters to check if it's a number (i.e. with error warning) of not (i.e. no error).
