TODAY() issues
 
Help please! I have a calendar that I'm trying to get the current date to change format by using a conditional formula and TODAY(). I think there is something in the programing that won't allow this operation. The spreadsheet is set up like this:

cell B2 = 1/1/2007
cell J2 =DATE(YEAR(B2),MONTH(B2)+1,1) (This gives me my month, Feb.)

cell J4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=1)*J2 (This gives me my 1st day of the month)
cell K4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=2)*J2+(J40)+J4 (This gives the 2nd day)
cell L4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=3)*J2+(K40)+K4 (This gives the 2rd day)
cell M4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=4)*J2+(L40)+L4 (This gives the 4th day)
cell N4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=5)*J2+(M40)+M4 (The 5th day)
cell O4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=6)*J2+(N40)+N4 (The 6th day)
cell P4 =(WEEKDAY(J2)=7)*J2+(O40)+O4 (The 7th day)
cell J5 =+P4+1 (The 8th day)
cell K5 =+J5+1 (The 9th day)
cell L5 =+K5+1 (The 10th day)

This +1 of the previous cell continues to the end of the month. All 12 months are set up the same way.

What am I doing wrong? Can't get the conditional formula to change the current day in the month to a different format ..... very frustrating!

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Bob,

I tried your solution and I get "#VALUE" in each cell. It also changes condition 1 of conditional formatting. This file is a perpetual calendar so I just have to adjust cell B2 to Jan. 1 of any year and the calendar will populate with the correct dates. I don't know if that will make any difference .... I would be happy to email the file directly to you if that would help.

I'm still wanting to conquer this problem so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob,

J2 is directly referencing B2 which is a date that is typed in, ie. "1/1/2007". Everything else in the spreadsheet works fine, even the other conditional formula. I just can't get the TODAY command to work. Is is possible to email the file to you directly? I'm sure you could solve it quickly. :-)

Still frustrated,

Keyrookie
