For example: Cell "G3" has "=EOMONTH(A3,-3)", Cell H3 has "=EOMONTH(A3,-2)" etc. I then have a series of tasks in column A. Each with an end date entered as "m/dd/yy". I'd like to indicate when a given task is due by formatting the background color of the appropriate cell. When I enter =EOMONTH(F14,0)=L3 as the conditional formatting formula, I get an error message saying "You may not use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Conditional Formatting criteria." Any help you could send my way would be much appreicated! |
