I am currently using excel 2003, and i understand that excel is able to
calculate dates by using a coding system. is it possible to set up a sort of
active document, where by inputted dates that have expired would be flagged
up in some way? for example; change colour of either the text or the cell
itself?
(if this makes no sense just give us a shout and i'll try and explain again
haha!)
thanks,
