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. -- Thanks!

Conditioanl formating
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 -- HTH, Barb Reinhardt "moon" wrote: 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.

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