Hi there. I'm looking to format won / loss records in Excel. For instance, if column D2 is 64-59 (a winning record), I'd like to color it green. If column D2 = 36-48, I'd like to color it red. Column D is formatted as text. If wins are twice as many or more than losses (e.g. D2 = 99-31), I'd like to color it purple. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Let's say you want to apply this to D2:D100.
Select this range. D2 should be the active cell in the selection.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula
=--LEFT(D2,FIND("-",D2)-1)<--MID(D2,FIND("-",D2)+1,10)
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Select red as color.
Click OK, then click OK again.
Repeat these steps, but with the formula
=--LEFT(D2,FIND("-",D2)-1)>--MID(D2,FIND("-",D2)+1,10)
and green as color.
Finally, repeat them again with the formula
=--LEFT(D2,FIND("-",D2)-1)>=2*MID(D2,FIND("-",D2)+1,10)
and purple as color.
Please note that draws will not be colored.
