Default Cell color date sensitive

Thanks so much... Condition 1 works great, is there a way to perform a test
to check out Condition 2 & 3

I think maybe using =TODAY() will mess you up in the long run............
This should work better...........

Use CellValueIs: equal to =$A$1 for the base date you wish to
reference
CellValueIs: equal to =$A$1+270 for 9 months later
CellValueIs: equal to =$A$1+365 for one year later

Presuming A1 is where a date is that you wish to reference........you can of
course put it in any other cell.........just change A1 to that cell number.

I am sorry "CLR" I am not fluent in Code. Can you give me an example

of how
to write the string using today's date and have the cell Green. Maybe

then I
can go in and modify it for the rest of my tracking.

The feature you need is called Conditional Formatting. You can

access it by
doing Format ConditionalFormatting and following the menus. You

can
invoke a base color to the cell, and 3 conditional ones. Try it,

and post
back if you have questions.

Folks,

I am trying to build a tracking product for training events that

are
accomplished and those that are due. I want to have a "cell" that

turns from
Green - Yellow - Red, based on a timeframe that I pick. Example:

John Doe
completes yearly Egress training on 1-18-2008 that cell will

remain Green
until 3 months from his due date and then the cell will turn

Yellow. At the
date that Egress training is due again the cell will turn Red

until the
training is completed. I hope that I have not confused anyone.

your help in
this will make my job easier to track upcoming and overdue

training.
