Kate,

To avoid confusion, I'd suggest you remove "Overdue" as a selectable from
the DVs col. Leave this "Overdue" flagging to Excel to auto-monitor in the
adjacent col using the formula as per set-up in the earlier response.

Anyway, with the above said, I do trust that you have sorted out things
since, going by your latest reply to MarkN's response in your other thread
on"Conditional Formatting of rows"? Let me know ..

Hello Max

Thank-you for your reply I tried it out & it worked fine!!! However I have
run into another problem.

In the status column you can select from the following using the drop down
list for each cell consisting of Not Started, Pending, Completed &
Overdue.

I have set up conditional formatting thanks to some help so that when a
status cell reads Completed for example the row turns green (Condition 1),
for Pending yellow (Condition 2).

However the problem I have now is that even though the date may be overdue
&
the C2 column (which is my N2 column) is reading Overdue if the status
column
(H column) reads Completed it will stay green or Pending it will stay
yellow.

Can I get it so that Overdue will appear in the status column rather than
the C2 column AND so that the due date condition overrides any other
conditional formatting???

Cheers
Kate
