hi everyone

i work for an accident management company and have a few new reports that
need some complex conditional formating i will details the requirements below
hopefully someone can help.

No Estimate Report:
i have a date in column F data starts on row 2 if any date in column if is
equal to or more than 7 in the past to todays date "=TODAY()" then i want
that date in column F to be highlighted in red background with white text.
that will then allow me to prioritise which jobs from each bodyshop need to
be chased urgently and which ones can wait a day or so this report takes me
about 2 days to complete so its important i deal with the urgent ones first
hence the need for this formulae.

G4S Cash Report:
i have the accident date in F7 & the bookin Date in G7 if the difference
between these 2 dates is equal to or greater than 28 then i want the date in
g7 to have red background and white text this will indicate to me if it the
time between the accident and the vehicle coming into the bodyshop is greater
than 28 days if it is then i have to move that job to a seperate report so
its important i can identify if it has exceeded 28 days or not.

any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Select all the cells and use a formula of

=AND(F2<"",F2<=TODAY()-7)

its important i can identify if it has exceeded 28 days or not.

=ABS(F7-G7)=28

For the first part select f2 and

Format|conditional formatting|formiula is and paste in

=(F2-TODAY())<7

Use the format painter to apply it to the full range of cells.

For G7 paste in the conditional format

=(G7-F7)28

Is that OK?

What do you have in F7 and G7?

G7 is the date the vehicle is due to come onsite, F7 is the date the accident
happened i need to determine the number of days between the 2 dates and if
that value is equal to ior greater than 28 then it has a red background with
white text.

I meant what dates do you have? Also, add =ABS(F7-G7) to a cell and see what
you get.

my bad its colum e is accident date and column f for date booked in the dates
i have in e7 is 09/05/2007 the date in f7 is 14/05/07, yes these dates as are
wouldnt meet the 28+ condition but even changing the date in f7 toi a date i
know is more than 28 days in difference still does not bring me the desired
result.
