Conditional Format - Due Dates - 2 questions (2nd posting)
I have a spreadsheet that tracks due and past due dates.
The default color of the spreadsheet is black. A is the due date column. B is the completed date column The irst furmula in B is =$A1=$B1 to track items completed before the A1 date, set to blue. Second one is =$A1<$B1 to track items completed aftre the due date, set to red. Sometimes there is no due date though. In that case it changes to red and looks like it was completed late. 1) Is there a conditional formula that will ingnore A1 if it is blank, or change to black? 2) My formula of =A1<=TODAY() make the items past due red, but it also makes everthing due today red as well, but they are not actrually overdue until tomorrow. Thanks! |

See the off-the-top-of-my-head (that is, untested) inline comments...

Try something like this... =AND($A1=$B1,$A1<"") I'm not sure if you need the absolute reference on the $A1<"" or not. 2) My formula of =A1<=TODAY() make the items past due red, but it also makes everthing due today red as well, but they are not actrually overdue until tomorrow. Wouldn't changing <= to just < handle that problem? Rick |

Thanks Rick. I am still trying to sort out this formula stuff. I am still
waiting the the "aha" moment that just never seems to arrive... "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: See the off-the-top-of-my-head (that is, untested) inline comments...
