Bernard,

I covered D6:N6

enterd cf
=D6-TODAY()=1

Populated dates across D5:N5

D5 = 2/7/09 Being that today is 2/9/09
D6 did not change to blue

Any ideas?

Thank you for oferring your time and expertise

You could select all the cells that need this conditional formatting and
in
the conditional formatting dialog use: Formula Is =D6-TODAY()=1 and set
required format
I have used D6 here as I assume this in the first cell in the selected
range
However, is any cell has a value grater than about 39800 then it could be
mistaken for a date
best wishes

Projected dates left to right drom D5:N5

Actual dates are entered one at a time below projected date as a
project
ends in D6:N6

The answer goes in D7:N7

All works fine.

1. If Todays date exceeds Projected date =1 day
ie: Expected 2/11/09 and Today is 2/12/09

2. I'd like to turn "That Cell" in D6:N6 Blue, (not all cells,) just
the
Cell that exceeds the date based on Today. =1

3. When a date IS entered into a BLUE D6 rows cell, I would like the
cell
to
look normal, turn the BLUE OFF and show the date entered.


Can this be done?
