I used this formula to keep track of when documents are past-due. If this is
true, it's set to format the background of the cell in red.

=E3<TODAY()

Hope this helps!

I want some of my cells to automatically change color by conditional formating.

1 condition for coloring/formating is that a separte cell on the spreadsheet

How can I write this condition?
