I need some help to figure out how to color text based on
some conditions.

In column C of my excel sheet I have planned date and in
column D I have actual start date. I have similar type
of information in column G and H. I have entries in
these columns for rows 1 to 147. Also, we enter data in
these cells manually and they change on daily basis.

I would like color of date in a column D to go red
whenever it is greater than the date in column C for any
row. Similarly color of date in column H should go red
whenever it is greate than column G for any row.

If you have ideas on how to dothis, please do let me know.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Use format, conditional formatting

Select Column C and then select format, conditional formatting from the menu

Assume C1 is the active Cell

in Cell Value Is select Greater than and =D1

If you select it with the mouse, it will be entered as =$D$1, but remove the
$

Select format, then pattern tab and select red.

Repeat for Column G with
Cell Value is Greater than =H1
