I am trying to make a row highlight where the cell value does not contain L00 or X00 and highlight if anything else has been entered but cant seem to find how to do this. Any ideas
Hi Andy,
Would it work if you added the L00 and X00 as Not equal to and the Is not blank?
Hope that helps!
A possible workaround would be to add a so-called helper column with a formula checking a box if the above is true/false.

Why would the conditional formatting tool include "contains" but not "does not contain?" Just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why, why, why. Dumb.
Hi @andyc ,
Not sure if this helps but at the bottom of the Set Condition screen there is an option for when condition is not met.
@ker9 just for the record, that option only exists on the "select from a list" menu and not the "define custom criteria" menu. There is no way to replicate "does not contain" solely in the Set Condition menu. You would need a dedicated helper column.
Just making this note for anyone stumbling into this thread as a reference.

Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
I have had approval workflows and notifications built into a couple sheets for about a year now. In the past month, I am getting a lot of feedback saying people did not receive the email request for approval or notification email. It isn't all the time, just sometimes and there does not seem to be a pattern on which ones…
