Cell Colors Dependant on Date
If I were to assign "=NOW()" to say...cell A10 and have column C dedicated to delivery dates for customers, could I have the cells automatically change colors the closer it gets the date in cell A10? For instance: If any of the delivery dates were 2 weeks away then the cells would turn green, 1 week away those cells would turn limegreen, 3 days away they would turn yellow and past due would be red. Thnx for any help -- RJM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RJM's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24822 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=551179 |

See Conditional Formatting under the Format menu.

You can easily do this with Conditional Formatting using simple date
subtraction. Do you have to do it with VBA? You don't have to store today's date in another cell. Format/Cond Formatting Condition 1(2 weeks away): -Change from Cell Value Is to Formula Is =and(TODAY()-C17,NOW()-C1<=14) -choose formatting for this condition Condition 2(1 week away): -Change from Cell Value Is to Formula Is =TODAY()-C1<=7 -choose formatting for this condition Good luck RJM wrote: If I were to assign "=NOW()" to say...cell A10 and have column C dedicated to delivery dates for customers, could I have the cells automatically change colors the closer it gets the date in cell A10?
