...
I have a spreadsheet like the following
Date of call, Cust name, a/c no, amount, date due in, date for follow up,
amount

What I am looking for is on the date due in is for the cells to chage
colour
according to the date.
e.g. If date due in is 30/10/05
it to go green once input, then 7 days prior to the date due in in the
cell
to change to orange and then on the date or beyond to go red. Bare in mind
each cell will have a differant due in date. I am also looking for the
same
for the coloudate for follow up.

Is this possible? If it is how the heck do you do it cause I am so
confused
