Conditional Formatting by date
I have inherited a spreadsheet with some conditional formatting that has
stopped working. The goal is to highlight data a certain color based on its age (Today, 1 day old, 2 days old). This has worked until today (31st day of the month) and I cannot figure out how to change the formula to make it work. These are the current formulas: =AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ") =AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=1,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ") =AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=2,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ") I have tried using cell value = TODAY(), but that hasn't worked... Thanks in advance :) |

Use
=TODAY()-A3=0 and so on -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "lola5375" wrote in message ... I have inherited a spreadsheet with some conditional formatting that has stopped working.

Conditional Formatting by date
Do I need to have a cell with the date in it to reference?
I have narrowed down the problem to the DAYS360 function - it only takes into account 30-day months. Is there a function that rcognizes the 31st day?

Dates in Excel are just numbers where on day = 1 so if you have 2 dates
you just subtract to get the number of dates. forget DAYS360 it's for accountants using months that are always 30 days This TODAY()-A3=0 equals this DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=0 in your original formula so all you have to do is to replace that part with the new =AND(TODAY()-A3=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3="") and so on -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "lola5375" wrote in message ...

That works to highlight everything that is not today's date.
What I really need is to highlight everything with today's date orange, everything 1 day ago yellow, and 2 days ago blue...

As I said this
=AND(TODAY()-A3=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3="") is exactly the same as this =AND(DAYS360(A3,TODAY())=0,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3=" ") and the 2 other ones would be =AND(TODAY()-A3=1,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3="") and =AND(TODAY()-A3=2,C3<"",J3="",O3="",P3="") so if that worked the new will work which it did when I tested with 10/31/08 in A3 and the rest of the conditions TRUE it will show orange, with 10/30/08 it will be yellow and with 10/29/08 it will be blue -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "lola5375" wrote in message ...
