Changing Cell Contents Colour
 
Hi there,

I have entered this formula in the past but for the life of me can't
remember how to do it! What i want to do is enter a date in a cell and when
it comes to that date i want it to turn red. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks :)

In another cell, put =TODAY() (let's say in C3)

In the conditional format dialog, Cell Value is, Greater than or equal to, =C3, and choose your format.
