Conditional Formatting
 

I have a formula in Conditional formatting that changes the color of the cell
if a date in that cell is equal to today's date less 2 months and todays date
plus 2 months. This works fine thanks to you guys helping me with the
formula. However, if I change the date in the cell because there is now a new
retest date and the date is more than 2 months, the cell stays red. How can I
get the cell to change to a different color if I put in a new date that does
not meet the criteria.

Thanks again for any help.

Best regards,

Dee

It should work okay. What is the formula, and do you have manual calculation
set?

Hi Bob,

The formula is:
=AND(F3=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY ())+2,DAY(TODAY())))=AND(F3=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MO NTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY ())+2,DAY(TODAY())))

If I change the cell to a different retest date that is say 6 months from
today, the cell remains red in color. Should it not change to the default
black?

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards,

Dee

Dee,

As far as I can see, you are comparing two identical formula, so it will
always resolve to true, so always be red. Just strip it back to one test

=AND(F3=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TOD
AY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,DAY(TODAY())))
