Conditional Formatting with Dates
=1-1-2008 (1 minus 1 minus 2008) gives a result of -2008
=1-31-2008 gives a result of -2038
TODAY() cannot be both =-2008 and <=-2038 (and the current value of TODAY()
is 39584).
Perhaps instead of 1-1-2008 you intended to say DATE(2008,1,1) ?

I hope someone will be able to help me. I have tried a number of things
but
can't get this just right. I want to be ale to make the text in a cell
turn
red if todays date is between two dates. Example: in Cells A1 through
A12
are the months of the year (January, February, March, April, May, June,
July,
August, September, October, November, December). I want to highlight he
current month in Red.
I have tried the following and had mixed results. In each cell I have
tried
the following:
1. =OR(TODAY() = 1-1-2008, TODAY() <= 1-31-2008)
Results = Turns text red regardless of current date
2. =AND(TODAY() = 1-1-2008, TODAY() <= 1-31-2008)
Results = Does not turn text red regardless of current date
I'm not sure whats wrong here, please help.
Thanks,
Bill
