Conditional Formatting - Date Refresh
I have a spreadsheet that counts down a date until I need to send out a
notification. If I leave the spreadsheet open overnight the date does not update when expected (12:01am). It will update if I close and then reopen the spreadsheet or if I wait until later on in the day. When using conditional formatting what is used for the point at which the date will update (it is not working off of the system time of 12:01am)? Thank you! |

If you are using a function such as =TODAY() or =NOW(), then it will rely on
the sheet doing a calculation. F9 will probably force a recalculation. -- David Biddulph "Kara" wrote in message ...

What do you mean by "the sheet doing a calculation"? Does that mean the time
I created the spreadsheet is the time that the dates will update? Thanks for your help!

No it means that you have to calculate the sheet or the workbook, that
happens when you open or close the workbook if you have volatile function like TODAY(), not when the computer clock changes. So you have to physically press the key F9, all spreadsheets would run amok if they were calculated every second/minute/hour based on the computer clock -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Kara" wrote in message ...
