I guess this is harder to explain than I thought... How about this.

I have a column of due dates in my spread sheet for the whole year instead
of sifting through it to find out what is coming due I'd like to have due
dates automatically highlight when 15 days before and after the date. I am
using =TODAY() to indicate the current date. I tried using: Cell Value Is
between =TODAY() and 15, Cell Value Is between =TODAY() and -15. This didn't
work.

Thanks for looking at this!

I'm not entirely sure what you want, but in the Conditional
Formatting box, change Cell Value Is to Formula Is and use a
formula like

=ABS(A1-TODAY())<=15

Hey,

I need to know how to use conditional formating to highlight a
date 15 days
before and 15 days after it becomes due. I'm using column to
indicate the
current date.
