Highlighting cells with Wildcard characters in excel

I have a table with numeric values like 1,2,11,12,111,223 etc. Mostly one digit, two digits, and three digit values.

I’d like to use conditional formatting to highlight one digit values with a certain color like gray, two digit values with another color like green, and three digit values with another color like red. Could I use conditional formatting to achieve this ?

I tried ** and ***, but didn’t work. Can I get help please? thanks.

I have Excel 2016 64 bit edition.

>Solution :

Try using a LEN formula. If it equals 1, 2, etc, then apply your formatting …
