Default Highlight expiry date

To highlight cell A1 with expiry date in it, use Conditional Formatting with
FORMULA IS and use the formula
=(A1-Today())<180
and choose the format you want

You can paint this format over other cells you want to highlight

Thanks for replying Sheeloo - I have tried this and it didn't work. Is it
meant to be ())?
