Aging Dates in Cond. Formatting
Hi All,
I have an issues report that I want to code the dates in. e.g. if the date is 20x40 days old i want it yellow. If it's 40+ days old, I want it in red. I get part of the first conditional format: (formula is) =a1<=today()-20 . But how do I get it to stop at 40, and then switch to red for 40+ (a second condition that looks like =a1<=today()-40 )? Also, how do I make a condition for when nothing is in the cell and I don't want any formatting? I have space in the log for 50 issues, but I don't want to see yellow or red for all the cells where the value is null... Is this something I need to do in VBA? if so - help with the syntax? Thanks in advance! Anders -- I''''ve encountered an error and I need to close for the weekend :) |

Your statement is mathematically impossible. How can something be less than
20, and greater than 40? Unless you mean 20<x<40? Is so: Formula 1: =AND(TODAY()-20=A1,A1=TODAY()-40) format yellow Formula2: =AND(A1<0,TODAY()-40A1) format red -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Anders" wrote: Hi All, I have an issues report that I want to code the dates in. e.g. if the date is 20x40 days old i want it yellow.

One more question Luke.
If I have in A3 - the resolved date of issue and I want the formatting in A1 to turn green if the date in a3 is a1, is this possible? or should I just format a3 to change if not equal to 0 and leave the a1 formatting. -- I''''ve encountered an error and I need to close for the weekend :) "Luke M" wrote: Your statement is mathematically impossible.
