Default Highlight date nearest to TODAY()

Assuming your data is sort in ascending order

Conditional Formatting:

=$A1=INDEX($A$1:$A$6,MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$A$6))

Hi

I have dates in a column in this format :

16/01/2010
16/02/2010
16/03/2010
16/04/2010
16/05/2010
16/06/2010


I'm trying to set the conditional formatting so that the nearest date to

today is in bold.

Can someone help with this?


Grateful for any advice.



Best Wishes
