Thank you! This worked great!

Change condition to to
Cell Value is between 1 and TODAY()

assuming you don't have any dates of 1/1/1900, this will work just fine.

Using Excel 2003 -- I have a column which has a date entered into it. I need
this column to highlight the date if:
1. it is between today's date and 10 days from today in one color
2. it is past today's date in another color
3. do not show color in the cells that are blank

I have highlighted the entire column, used the Conditional Formatting with
the following:
1. Cell Value is between =TODAY() and =TODAY()+10 [yellow highlight]
2. Cell Value is less than =TODAY() [orange highlight]

It is this second format that is causing blank cells (ones not yet used) to
have an orange highlight. How do I correct this so that blank cells will
have no highlight, yet keep the formatting for the other dates?

Thanks!
