Let's assume col. A and any date after 12/24/2004:
1. Select col. A. 2. Go to Format Conditional Formatting 3. Select "Formula Is" on the drop-down 4. Insert: =$A1"12/24/04"+0 5. Press the Format button and format as desired 6. Press OK twice HTH Jason Atlanta, GA -----Original Message----- How do I get cells to automaticly highlight after a specific date? . |

Hi Jason
better to use =$A1DATE(2004,12,24) to make sure it will work also outside the US :-) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Jason Morin wrote: Let's assume col. A and any date after 12/24/2004: 1.

Hi Jason
lol I know we 'old Europeans' should use the dot as decimal delimter, etc :-) Just as addition. If you want to use a string value for a date use the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD This (should) works in all Excel versions -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Jason Morin" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Thank you. Unfortunately, this did not work for my application. I am sorry, I
did not explane myself. Come to think about it, I did not give any detail. I actually have two rows that I am working with. The top row (D21 to AF21) has the dates. The bottom row (D22 to AF22) is supposed to be fill if the date from the top row is less than todays date (NOW()). Is there a way to accomplish this using the conditional formating?

Hi
- select D22:AF22 - goto the conditional format dialog, choose 'Formula is' - enter the following formula: =D$21<NOW() - choose your format -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Aviator wrote: Thank you.
