Default What is formula to have an upcoming date change color?

Try just doing it for the entire column starting with H1, because it works
perfectly on my spreadsheet. It only highlights values that are today through
2 months... and leaves all text and other dates alone.

Seems to be the right direction, although the boxes that highlighted either
have no information or are dated 12-30-2007. The column is the "H" beginning
with row "7"

Hey, try this... it should work by highlighting the cells that are within two
months away. Select the column that has the dates.... then go to

Format--- Conditional Formatting

Then change Condition 1 to---- Formula is

And in the Formula Box type

=AND(A1-TODAY()<60,A1-TODAY()0)

REMEMBER**** you have to Change A1 to whereever your first date starts. So
if your dates are in column H... you will change the A1s to H1s, etc.

I have a spreadsheet that shows contract begin and end dates. I would like
the end date to highlight or change colors when it is two months away.
