How can do this:

A:A contain date
B:B has a formula e.g for B1 =if(A1=today(), "today", "")
B2 =if(A2=today(), "today", "") etc

C:C has some data


I would like to bold the data in cell C if the corresponding B is "today"


Thanks

Select range of cells in column C to format.

FormatCFFormula is: =$B1="today"

FormatFontBold

Hi,

Select Col C and put this formula in Conditional formatting

=IF($B1="today",TRUE,FALSE)

Gord Dibben: Conditional formatting using "Cell Value Is" and comparing
values in two cells does not work properly. On one row the formatting does
work and in the other it does not, using the same instructions but with
different cell references. My instructions to MS Excel are to see if the
selected cell is Greater Than or Equal to another cell in the same row, and
if so, to paint the cell blue. 'Any suggestions?

FormatCFCell Value is: greater than or equal to............=cellref(note the
= sign)

Watch the cell references. Use Absolute or Relative depending upon what you
want to compare.

Gord Dibben: I stumbled upon the "=" trick myself the other day, but thanks
anyway. I thought that was the answer to my dilemma. However, it worked in
one cell and not in another. I wish I could attach the sample cells to show
you. It is kind of weird.

Dear Noob: How does this formula instruct MS Excel to compare the values in
one cell to another? I did modify your formula to read =((B2=A2)=TRUE). MS
Excel did not reject the formula, but it did not re-color the cell either.
'Frustrating, yes?

Thank you for responding.
