Conditional formatting should do the trick (Format?Conditional Formatting)
Not sure of the actual syntax of the formula you would need to use but I'm sure someone else could help you there. "ALEXANDRA" wrote: HOW DO I CREATE A FORMULA IN CELL(S) WHICH WILL ALERT ME? FOR EXAMPLE, I WOULD LIKE THE A DATE (SEPT. 1) TO TURN RED 3, 5 OR EVEN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO (SEPT. 1) |

Hi Alexandra
Use Conditional Formatting.. 1. In cell A1 enter todays date (Ctrl+Shift) 2. From menu FormatConditional FormattingCondition1Select 'Formula Is' and enter the below formula =$A$1-TODAY()<5 3. Click Format ButtonPattern and select your color (red) 4. Hit OK If cell A1 will be in red color if the date entered is 5 days prior to current date. Check and feedback If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "ALEXANDRA" wrote: HOW DO I CREATE A FORMULA IN CELL(S) WHICH WILL ALERT ME?
