Default automatic colour change of cells.

Have the cells highlighted, then click on FORMAT and Conditional Formatting.
You can set your parameters in the for colour and font, and have it based on
a formula too if you want.

You can use conditional formatting to do this, available on the Format
menu. Please give further details of your requirements/cells used etc
if you need further help.

Default automatic colour change of cells.

If you want it to calculate based on current date, in conditional formatting,
use formula is, then

=your cell<now()-365 and format as red.

If you want to be exact on yoru dates, go to Tools Add ins... and add the
Analysis Toolpak.

Use:

= yourcell < EDATE(now(),-12) and format.
