Conditional Formatting - 2 conditions
Excel XP & Win XP
I thought this was easy but it isn't. I want to apply conditional formatting to D1 so I have D1 selected. I want 2 conditions to be true before the formatting is applied. They a (Note that D1 holds a date). D1 Today() E1 < "YES" I tried: Formula is: =If(And(D1Today(), E1<"YES")) Excel adds quotes as: ="If(And(D1Today(), E1<""YES""))" But the formatting is not applied. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your time. Otto |

Take the extra quotes out. If you put the = in at the beginning of the
formula as you enter it, I think you'll find that CF won't add the extra quotes. And you don't want IF. All you need is =AND(D1TODAY(), E1<"YES") -- David Biddulph "Otto Moehrbach" wrote in message ... Excel XP & Win XP I thought this was easy but it isn't.
