Is there a formula to AUTOMATICALLY highlight a specific month
I have an Excel spreadsheet and in it I enter dates (creating ledgers). We
highlight (manually) each line of data containing the March balances. I'd love to use conditional formatting to do this for me, but can't figure out how. The only thing I want it to be able to do is highlight (pattern=yellow) any and every cell that contains the month march (it will only be entered as a date code, so month=3). Thanks Chris |

Select all the cells, goto to FormatConditional Formatting, and set the
option to Equal to and a value of 3. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "chrismears" wrote in message ...

Tried this (no luck). Dates are complete (yyyy-mm-dd), but formatted to show
as only (mmm-yy). tried to apply a conditional formatting formula, but either it highlighted everything, or just nothing. Thanks for the help! |

Try inputting a formula in the conditional formatting =month(a1)=3 If it works copy and paste formatting only to relevant cells -- JMKC ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JMKCT's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2939 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=49104 |

In that case, use a formula of =MONTH(A1)=3
