I want to change the cell format (color) based on a calc
I have a spreadsheet with due dates and current date - I want to change the
status on those tasks based on calculation of due date against current date. If due date has passed - I want to turn cell "red", if not passed thenn "green" if same day then "yellow". How can I do this? thanks ! |

Hi
Check out Conditional formatting. Cond. form. together with dates has been dealt with many times in the earlier newsgroup postings, so you can use the search function and you will surely find your solution. If not, please ask further. -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "mtnmanus" wrote: I have a spreadsheet with due dates and current date - I want to change the status on those tasks based on calculation of due date against current date.
