Conditional Formatting - dates
How do you creat a conditional format for a group of dates containing dates
of a course booked and then in another column with the expirey date of either 3 years or 1095 days and then in another colum set a condition to give 3 months warning before the expirey date and can I just select the column with that information using e.g A$ ?? if I sent the cell value to be 1095 days(the whole column as the couse will always need refreshing after 3 years -- Eva "bobocat" wrote: supposed that the column A contain the date, Select Column A condition formating Formula is =and(a1<today(),isblank(a1)=false)) "KAT" ...

Hi Eva,
Can't fully understodd your question. supposed that in Column A = Date of Course booked ,Column B = Expirey date, Column C=Remark if A2 = 2003/12/25, then at B2 =date(year(a1)+3,month(a2),day(a2) which is 2006/12/25 at C2 =if(b2=today(), "expired", if(datedif(today(),b2,"MD")=3, "warning", "")) If you want cell b2 have conditional formating, then you can set: "formula is" =c2="warning" Bobocat "Eva" wrote in message ...
