Default Results of conditional formatting not what desired. How do I

Hello Bernard,

I sent you my file at the stfx email addy without the truenorth because it
came back as undeliverable when I tried it with truenorth.

I hope you get my file.

Sincerely, Clyde

Hello Bernard,

Thank you again for your help.

I tried your suggestion and changed the date in the column that the L55
formula runs off of, but the results weren't right. I used a date of
22-Mar-2004 in cell K55 (L55 reference cell) but L55 didn't change to the
color I desired.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm sorry but I'm very new at this stuff.

You can have up to 3 conditional formats in a cell without using VBA
Look for the Add button on the Conditional Formatting button
You could try, for example
cond 1: =AND(MONTH(L55)=MONTH(TODAY()), YEAR(L55)=YEAR(TODAY()))
cond 2: =AND(MONTH(L55)<MONTH(TODAY()), YEAR(L55)=YEAR(TODAY()))
cond 3: =AND(MONTH(L55)MONTH(TODAY()), YEAR(L55)=YEAR(TODAY()))
best wishes

Bonjour Bernard,

Thank you very much for your help with my Excel question. It worked
perfectly.
Another question, if you don't mind, and I hope I'm not imposing on
your
time.
Let's say that the results of the cell are less than this month and
year.
How could I get that to show up with whatever color I desire? Or, vice
versa,
results are greater than current month and year?
Thank you again.

A la prochaine, Clyde Barney

My formula produces a dd-mmm-yyyy result which is correct.

Cell L55 formula results a 17-May-2006

Conditional formatting is set to: Formula is: =L55<=TODAY()

With background pattern set to red.

My problem is that the conditional formatting doesn't produce the
results
I
desire which is that if the date in L55 falls within the month and
year
that
the background will be red.

How do I get the conditional formatting to do this?
