Default Conditional Formatting - workdays only

The WORKDAY function is part of the analysis ToolPak add-in which is another
file. That's why you get the message.

Try this:

Create a defined named formula.
Goto InsertNameDefine
Name: WorkDate
Refers to: =WORKDAY(TODAY(),14)
OK

Then, use this formula in the conditional formatting:

=$AI$8WorkDate

Hi Bob, thanks for the quick reply back. However, I get a message as soon
as
I try to save it 'You may not use references from other worksheets for
conditional fformatting criteria'

Any clues on this?

are you sure that you mean 14 working days, not 10?

Hi all, hope you can help. Excel 2003

I need to use conditional formatting on a cell if the date in this cell
is
14 working days Today(). I'm not sure where to place the
(AI1-Workday)
part within the formula bar

=TODAY()-$AI$814
