Cell color changes when date gets closer
Hi:
I have a large spreadsheet that I track employee training on. The cells contain the DUE date of next training I would like to format it so that if a training date is past the DUE date the cell color is "red". If the date is within 0-30 days the cell is "amber", and if it is within 31-60 days of DUE date then "yellow". Many thanks for you help.... |

Use Conditional Formatting.
Say Column D contains the due dates, starting in D2. Select D2, then from the Menu Bar: <Format <Conditional Formatting, Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is", and enter this for Condition 1: =D2<TODAY() Then click on "Format", and choose a Red Pattern. Click on <Add, then Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is", and enter this for Condition 2: =D2<=TODAY()+30 Then click on "Format", and choose an Amber Pattern. Click on <Add, then Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is", and enter this for Condition 3: =D2<=TODAY()+60 Then click on "Format", and choose a Yellow Pattern. Then <OK <OK out. Copy D2 down as needed. If you already have dates entered in Column D, use the Format Painter to copy down. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Ralph" wrote in message ...
