Hello,

without the use of conditional formatting, is it possible to format the date
turn red font if it is before today().

same like when numbers are treated as negative.

something like...
[red if < today()] dd-mmm-yy

regards,

That is what conditional format is there for? Why not use it?

the 3 conditions were used already. Is it possible in the custom formatting ?

OK, not knowing exactly what you want to achieve, and where, here is an
answer given on one of these posts some time ago. Of course you will have to
adapt to suit your own needs. Play aroun, and see whether you come right.
If not, repost with more specific requirements - cell addresses etc.

You can have as many as you want with this. It;s worksheet code so
right-click the tab, view code and paste in.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim CellVal As String
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
CellVal = Target
Set WatchRange = Range("A1:c100") 'change to suit

If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
Select Case CellVal
Case "Dog"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Case "Cat"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Case "Other"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Case "Rabbit"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 46
Case "Goat"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 45
End Select
End If

i forgot to give more details of my request. i am just on the preparatory
stage.

xls03 : rows 1 ~ 10 & columns A~J will not be included in the formatting.
The scheduling of items on succeeding rows and columns will grow indefinitely.

we can take K11:BZ1000 as the range where the red font date < today() is to
be located.

I suppose that a vb code will fit as the 4th prevalent condition.

the 3 conditional formats used are formulated :
1.) date < target
2.) date target
3.) date today()

sorry if i bothered your attention.

No need to feel sorry!

Let me get this clear.

From K11:BZ1000 you can have a date anywhere. What else can you expect in
this range. Normally one would use one column for dates, and not the entire
sheet, that's why I am asking. Also, to have dates in K, L, M, N and so on,
isn't that a bit too much.?

As I say, I'm trying to get your thinking here. Thanks for the other
conditions as well, since I will have to incorporate all into the VB code.

regards,

yeh its better to be clear,
On column J, i have the formula generated target dates for each row of items.
Columns K~BZ row 11 to 1000 will contains dates, some are formula generated
dates and generally finalized/overridden by manual input later.
These columns represent sequence of different milestone for each item.
also K10:BZ10 contains fix nominal dates as guide.

example
-----------------
Item 1 :
J11=31 MAR. 2011 <target date of last milestone
V11=20 APR. 2009 <manually typed cell subject to 3 cond. format + code for
red font
today() = 30 APR. 2009
-----------------

thus, V11<today(), the code will display a red font on V11.

also since 1st Conditional format will prevail as well, there will be a
display of blue color pattern on V11.
1.) date < target (20 APR. 2009 < 31 MAR. 2011)

thereby, a red font date [20 APR. 2009] on a blue color pattern cell will be
displayed on V11.

All 3 conditional format are colored pattern sensitive, no conditional
format will be applied on font.

I am not required to place all the 3 cond. format into a code.

thanks for a possible solution.

To summarise, you require 4 conditions

i forgot to give more details of my request. i am just on the preparatory
stage.

xls03 : rows 1 ~ 10 & columns A~J will not be included in the formatting.
The scheduling of items on succeeding rows and columns will grow indefinitely.

we can take K11:BZ1000 as the range where the red font date < today() is to
be located.

I suppose that a vb code will fit as the 4th prevalent condition.

the 3 conditional formats used are formulated :
1.) date < target
2.) date target
3.) date today()

sorry if i bothered your attention.

You can have as many as you want with this. It;s worksheet code so
right-click the tab, view code and paste in.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WatchRange As Range
Dim CellVal As String
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
CellVal = Target
Set WatchRange = Range("A1:c100") 'change to suit

If Not Intersect(Target, WatchRange) Is Nothing Then
Select Case CellVal
Case "Dog"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 5
Case "Cat"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
Case "Other"
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6

On column J, i have the formula generated target dates for each row of items.
Columns K~BZ row 11 to 1000 will contains dates, some are formula generated
dates and generally finalized/overridden by manual input later.
These columns represent sequence of different milestone for each item.
also K10:BZ10 contains fix nominal dates as guide.

example
-----------------
Item 1 :
J11=31 MAR. 2011 <target date of last milestone
V11=20 APR. 2009 <manually typed cell subject to 3 cond. format + code for
red font
today() = 30 APR. 2009
-----------------

thus, V11<today(), the code will display a red font on V11.

also since 1st Conditional format will prevail as well, there will be a
display of blue color pattern on V11.
1.) date < target (20 APR. 2009 < 31 MAR. 2011)

thereby, a red font date [20 APR. 2009] on a blue color pattern cell will be
displayed on V11.

All 3 conditional format are colored pattern sensitive, no conditional
format will be applied on font.

I am not required to place all the 3 cond. format into a code.

thanks for a possible solution.

Let me get this clear.

From K11:BZ1000 you can have a date anywhere. What else can you expect in
this range. Normally one would use one column for dates, and not the entire
sheet, that's why I am asking. Also, to have dates in K, L, M, N and so on,
isn't that a bit too much.?

As I say, I'm trying to get your thinking here. Thanks for the other
conditions as well, since I will have to incorporate all into the VB code.

works good for the 1st time...Is there a way to make it work like a static

i tried a 1st test by changing the font color using the default toolbar and
the code doesn't seem to sustain the requested red font.
It will return to red font only if i go on every cell and hit *F2*.
