You can use conditional formatting to change the name cell colour. For
example, if Due dates are in column D and Completed Dates are in column E: Select the cells with names Choose FormatConditional Formatting From the first dropdown, choose Formula Is In the formula box, type a formula that refers to the active row: =AND($E2="",$D2-TODAY()<=7) Click the Format button, and on the Patterns tab, choose the Red colour Click OK, click OK cityfc wrote: Hope someone can help What i have is column a/b has names in and other columns with dates.

That works a treat thanks but 1 small problem i have other columns in the
database with due dates for the same name. What i mean is if the first column has been filled with a date how do i get it to look along the row under other columns for missing dates sorry to be a pain "Debra Dalgleish" wrote: You can use conditional formatting to change the name cell colour.

If you provide some detail on the worksheet layout, and a couple of
sample rows, someone may be able to help with the formula. cityfc wrote: That works a treat thanks but 1 small problem i have other columns in the database with due dates for the same name.
