date warning
hi all... as part of my job, i have to manage an enormous number of deadlines etc, and was wondering if there's a way of having the deadline column change the colour of the text within date cells that are imminent? for example, if a date is over a week away, it could remain green, if it's within a week, then it could be amber, within three days = orange, and on the deadline (or overdue) = red. sadly, i have next to no programming knowledge, but would really appreciate it if anybody could offer suggestions? thanks, glueboy. -- glueboy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ glueboy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28784 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=484727 |

Use conditional formatting under the Format menu.
make the default color green, and use conditional formatting for the other 3 conditions. So you don't need to do any programming. Look at Debra Dalgleish's site under C for additional information http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "glueboy" wrote in message ... hi all... as part of my job, i have to manage an enormous number of deadlines etc, and was wondering if there's a way of having the deadline column change the colour of the text within date cells that are imminent? for example, if a date is over a week away, it could remain green, if it's within a week, then it could be amber, within three days = orange, and on the deadline (or overdue) = red. sadly, i have next to no programming knowledge, but would really appreciate it if anybody could offer suggestions? thanks, glueboy. -- glueboy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ glueboy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28784 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=484727 |

Hi all
I am looking for something very similar. Unfortunately I could not find any examples on the topic. I have a list of tasks that take between 20 min and 22.75 hours to complete. If I set a start date and time for those tasks I would like to calculate the end date and time. The other condition is that the tasks are performed during certain periods of time (during working hours and outside of tea, lunch breaks or days off ). I really like the idea of changing colour as the end date and time (deadline) approaches. How it could be done? Do you know any VBA examples on this issue? I believe conditional formatting would not be enough?!? I believe that my problem and the one glueboy has are very similar and that is why I post in this thread. Thanks a lot.
