Hi All,
I am trying to make a cell change colour 1 month before a date becomes overdue to flag it for attention. I can do this without worries for a 6 month review, but a 12 month review will not change, it will change format when it becomes overdue. I am using =IF(TODAY()=$C11+153,1,0) to change it 1 month before the 6 month expiration date & =IF(TODAY()=$C11+334,1,0) for 12 month. I seem to recall that Excel only allows for 300 days in year calculations? Is that the problem and is there a way to get around this. Thanks in advance. |

JMA --
I got it to work like this. My date (over a year ago) was in A1. I activated conditional formatting on cell B1 as follows: Formula is ... =TODAY()=(A1+334) I set it up to make the cell turn red if the condition is satisfied, and it worked fine.
