Is it possible to change the color of just one number or word in a formula? I
have been reading and trying some of these conditional formatting posts, but
so far, no luck for what I am trying to do... For instance: =132+130+58 (and
I only want 130 to be red and the rest black).

Cannot do this with CF or within a formula.

You must paste the formula as value then edit just the number you want to be
red.

You can not change part of the cell format through conditional formatting.

If you have text in the cell, you can highlight part of that text and use
Format/ Cells to change the font colour. You can't do that if the cell
contains a formula.
