Default conditional formatting

have amortization table, that you input starting date at the top of the form
and it fills in the monthly due dates, based upon the term in years, and
includes interest and principal etc.

i have a helper cell that takes the date as =YEAR(A1)then a copy and paste
so the cell contains actual number rather than formula.

i want to color all the even years in green and the odd in gold, using this
cond format =$XX/2=int($XX/2) and same except < replaces =. (The cond
formatting would apply to the columns 1 thru 19.

using MS Ofc 07
thx

Default conditional formatting

Try this:

Assume the range in question is A1:A5
Select the range A1:A5
Goto FormatConditional Formatting
Condition 1
Formula Is: =AND(A1<"",MOD(A1,2)=0)
Set fill color to GREEN

Click the ADD button

Condition 2
Formula Is: =MOD(A1,2)
Set fill color to GOLD
OK out

I don't have Excel 2007 but I've read that the number of conditions is
limited only by available memeory.

I don't know the steps in setting condtional formatting in Excel 2007 but
there still should be an option to use a custom formula.
