Conditional format if change to contents of cell
 
Hi from a rather fresh RSA,

Is there a conditional format formula for when a user changes the contents
of the cell i.e date of birth was 1972/01/22 and they change it to 1982/01/22
?

Thanks

A cell has no memory so it would not know what the previous value was.

No, you can't do this with conditional formatting, as Excel does not
remember the previous contents of a cell once it has been edited. You
might be able to do it with a change event macro - perhaps
the .programming group might be able to supply a solution.
