Default Conditional Formatting by date

Dates in Excel are just numbers where on day = 1 so if you have 2 dates
you just subtract to get the number of dates. forget DAYS360 it's for
accountants using
months that are always 30 days


This


TODAY()-A3=0



equals this

DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=0


in your original formula so
all you have to do is to replace that
part with the new



=AND(TODAY()-A3=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3="")


and so on

Do I need to have a cell with the date in it to reference?

I have narrowed down the problem to the DAYS360 function - it only takes
into account 30-day months. Is there a function that rcognizes the 31st
day?

I have inherited a spreadsheet with some conditional formatting that has
stopped working. The goal is to highlight data a certain color based
on
its
age (Today, 1 day old, 2 days old). This has worked until today (31st
day
of
the month) and I cannot figure out how to change the formula to make it
work.
These are the current formulas:
=AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ")
=AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=1,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ")
=AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=2,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ")

I have tried using cell value = TODAY(), but that hasn't worked...

Thanks in advance :)
