Default How to apply conditional formatting on group of cells by using

Hi Jon

Yes, from your description, column B contains the last working day.
The column is Fixed with $B but the row is relative and will change from
1 to 2 etc. as you go down the page.
So if you were looking at row 9, the formula would have become
=AND($B9<"",TODAY()-$B90)

We need the test to see whether column B is empty, otherwise all blank
rows would be formatted with your chosen format as well.

Choose Format you require.

Hi,
I have a sheet for tracking vacation plan. In this sheet I want to
make a
conditional formatting. The sheet contains three columns, the first
one is
employee name, and the second one is last working day, the third
one
is
return to work. I want to apply specific conditional formatting on
the
three
columns by special conditional as follows:
If the last working day date is over due itself, the all columns to
be
filled with color automatically.
Your help is highly appreciated
