It did the blank cell but not the cells with dates priouv to 01-Sep-2008.
Does it matter what format I have the dates appear or typed in. It is typed
in as "9/1/08" however it appears as 01-Sep-2008.

Glad I could help.

I don't think there is any rating - you can just mark whether post was
helpful or not...

It is no big deal... I happened to know something you needed...

If you had searched (here or on the internet) you might have found the
answer yourself.

Have a nice day/night...

You just don't know I can now go to work tomorrow and sow my boss that I
figured it out without his help. You literally help me in a million ways.
It's night here in California where are you at?

I have a need for this same type of formula, except, I need it to highlight
cells that are over 6 months old. I tryed changing the formula to
=(A1-180)<TODAY() and it highlights all cells that have a date in them. Even
if the date was yesterday. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure it's a real date.

=(a1+180)<today()
