change text colour
Is this possible to change text colour(say to blue) after 10hrs automatically.
so that next day when i open sheet & start working i can easily differentiate yesterday's work. Is there any other way to do this? |

Well, you can use conditional formatting...
Format Conditional Formatting Formula is... <NOW()-(10/24) then click format button and do your formatting. Of course, this means those cells will be blue perpetually... So, you could put in a 2nd format that changed them back to whatever format if <NOW()-(34/24) "aditya" wrote: Is this possible to change text colour(say to blue) after 10hrs automatically. so that next day when i open sheet & start working i can easily differentiate yesterday's work.

See Chip Pearson's site for how to set up an on-time macro event.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/OnTime.aspx But why don't you just select today's work and change the font before you save and close? You do save now and again, I hope.

39966.55 is 6/2/09 1:12 PM. You can just change the formattign to date/time
to see that part. So, I would assume you entered that formula at 11:12 PM on 6/2. I did neglect to add the < for less than, so: <=now()-(10/24) If you were to have that formula in your cell at 9:00 AM on 6/23, it would turn any cell with a value of 6/22 11:00 PM or earlier to blue (assuming your format as such) "aditya" wrote: hi Timmons, i an facing difficulties..will you please elaborate?
