What I want it to do is to highlight the cell red, amber or green to
indicate how close we are to our deadline date.
For example: *I have three columns: *Date In, Deadline Date and Todays Date.
*What I want to happen is for the Deadline Date column to highlight
automatically each day as we count down to the Deadline Date. *I dont really
want to have to be going in to the spreadsheet every day to manually change
the dates but I have no idea how to get it to update automatically. *Any
suggestions?
