Using Conditional Formatting with Commas
I was wondering if there was a way to assign conditional formatting based on the number of comma separators in a cell?  IE: A,=green B,C,=Blue D,E,F,=Yellow

The letter values won't always be fixed and will be different from cell to cell so I want the number of commas in the cell to be the condition.

Can I do that?

Thanks
