hi experts.... can u tell me to highlight today in a table using conditional formating. I used this formula, but it didn't work
=today() and selected the RED colour

The formula is correct, so it must be your data that's wrong.

The typical problem is that your data is not a date, it's text. Try actually
entering 11/16/08 in the cell to see if that works. If it does, then all you
have to do is change your data from text to a date. Text to Columns is one
of the better ways.

Regads,
Fred.

No... I've tried that too... but didn't work

That's too bad, Kinghart, as it works for me.

When you're interested in a solution, post back with more information as to
what you are doing.

Regards,
Fred.

Hi,

give this a try, works fine for me.

In the conditional formatting box change to 'Formula Is' and set the formula
to:
=$A$1=TODAY()
