Conditioanl formating
 

Hello,

I need to schedule some cells to change to a given color (ex. yellow) when
the due date is nearing (say 3 days out), then I need it to change to red
when the due date is here or has passed.

For instance if the due date is 9/12/07, I would like the cell to
automatically change to yellow 3 days prior, and then on the 12th, it should
turn red.

Any help is greately appreciated.

Select the cell or cells you want to format. I'm assuming your selecting A1
first.

Format - Conditional Format

Formula is =today()-A1< 3
Format to YELLOW
Formula is =today() = A1
Format to RED

you can add two conditions (both using the "Cell Value is" dropdown).
#1 Between =today()-3 =today()-1
#2 Equal to =today()
