Default Conditional Formatting - dates

How do I apply conditional formatting to highlight dates that are less than
todays date (today's date should automatically update to the current days
date) Hope this makes sense. It is for purposes of highlighting expired
qualifications. Any advice would be appreciated.

Default 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

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"
