Hi all, hope you can help. Excel 2003

=$AI$8WORKDAY(TODAY(),14)
are you sure that you mean 14 working days, not 10? -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Mike" wrote in message ... Hi all, hope you can help.

Hi Bob, thanks for the quick reply back. However, I get a message as soon as
I try to save it 'You may not use references from other worksheets for conditional fformatting criteria' Any clues on this? -- Regards Mike "Bob Phillips" wrote: =$AI$8WORKDAY(TODAY(),14) are you sure that you mean 14 working days, not 10? -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Mike" wrote in message ...

Oops, forgot you can't use ATP functions in CF. Try this instead
=$AI$8TODAY()+SMALL(IF((WEEKDAY(TODAY()+(ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ABS(14)*10))),2)<6),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&AB S(14)*10))),ABS(14)) -- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "Mike" wrote in message ...

The WORKDAY function is part of the analysis ToolPak add-in which is another
file. That's why you get the message. Try this: Create a defined named formula. Goto InsertNameDefine Name: WorkDate Refers to: =WORKDAY(TODAY(),14) OK Then, use this formula in the conditional formatting: =$AI$8WorkDate -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Mike" wrote in message ...

Hi T, it seems so straight forward but I can't get this to work in the
Conditional Formatting - highlight cell in red. I have tried testing it using a blank spreadsheet with a date 14 days old in cell A1 and created the Name as you suggested and retryed but no luck. No errors occur which is a bonus. Would you be able to test it again for me just to make sure Thanks again for all your help -- Regards Mike "T.

Worked ok for me. Here' what I did: Defined WorkDate as =WORKDAY(TODAY(),14) Applied the conditional formatting: Selected cell AI8 FormatConditional Formatting Formula Is: =$AI$8WorkDate Set the fill color to green (any color will do, I just like green!) In AI8 I entered 12/31/2008 and it turned green as expected. =WORKDAY(TODAY(),14) evaluates to 7/21/2008 So, the format is applied when AI8 7/21/2008 (based on today's date). In AI8 I entered 7/20/2008 and the green format was removed. In AI8 I entered 7/25/2008 and the green format was again applied. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Mike" wrote in message ...

Hi T, I just realised what I did wrong. I misinterpretted the formula with
regards to the dates. It's the other way round. I want the cell in AI8 to format in Red if the date is 14 working days BEHIND(<) Todays date. I tried modifying the WorkDate name WORKDAY(TODAY(),14) but it does not like when I use < sign in it. I also used =$AI$8<WorkDate but does not work out.

Hi Biff, that works great thanks! I've noticed however that when I apply
this formula/formatting to other cells below which do not have yet dates inserted into them, they automatically show up in Red formatting ( which suggest the formula is working). However, this causes confusion during monitoring of the spreadsheet. Therefore, can I add a IF statement in here to say "If the cell is blank, do not format the cell in Red but leave unformatted". Is this possible?, your help to me is most grateful -- Regards Mike "T. Valko" wrote: Use: WorkDate = WORKDAY(TODAY(),-14) And: =$AI$8<WorkDate -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Mike" wrote in message ...
