JohannGC, Good morning.
Try to use:
Select AA4
Menu Conditional Format
Using formula
--> =B4="Z"
--> Format: Fill color as GREEN
OK
Please, tell us if it worked as expected.
I hope it helps.

JohannGC,
"... Is there a formula I can use to set it as containing Z or starting with Z?..."
Yes.
Starting with Z
=LEFT(B4,1)="Z"
Containing Z
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Z",B4))
I hope it helps.

Hi Marcilio,
Thank you for the reply. When I use those formulas I receive the error saying "there is a problem with this formula." and help states that Excel does not understand what I am trying to do.
I followed the following steps.
1. I select the AA4 cell (the cell I want to change the colour)
2. Conditional Formatting ----> New Rule ----> Use a formula to determine which cells to format.
3. Format values where this format is true ----> =LEFT(B4,1)="Z"
I am not sure why it does this.
Regards
Johann

Johann, Good morning.
Your procedure is correct.
I'm guessing that your version of Excel is in English.
However, depending on the country, the parameter separator can be the comma "," or the semicolon ";".
Do your formulas use a comma or a semicolon?
I hope it helps.
