Default Conditional formatting

Hello
In A1, I have the text "Dates" and in B2:30, I will have a date per cell.
Can I use conditional formatting for Excel to colour B2 when the date entered
is 1 week or 1 month old. Example: I have entered in B2 the date 14/08/06,
how can conditional formatting kicks in by colouring the cell red
automatically one week later on 21/08/06.

Many thanks

Hi,

Choose "lesser then" and type this formula " =today()-7 " for a week

One week later the cell should turn red or whatever the colour you choose.

Hello Pascale,

Something along these lines ...
Choose Formula Is
and add following formula :

=(TODAY()-B2)=7

Hello Pascale,


I am surprised ... copying "conditionnally formatted" and clearing
cells contents should not format the empty cell, since the condition is
not met ...

If you still have this problem, could you explain a bit further ...

I know this post is over a year old but I found it tremendously helpful in
formatting a project coming up due and then when it was overdue. Thanks!
