Conditional Formatting not giving correct answer...
I am using conditional formatting to set a function that will format a date
if it's above 30 days old. Ex. - If the date (12/20/05) is over 30 days (1/6/06), turn it orange. Formula is - (cell for 12/20/05 - cell for 1/6/06) 30 It turned orange! any reasons why??? Help I dont want to use this conditional formatting if its gonna give back incorrect results? Could it be the year 2006 throwing it off? |

reverse the order of the date computation i.e, 1/6/2006-12/20/2005 . This result is positive number ; your result will give a negative number which Excel can't interpret. Dates are converted to days since 1/1/1900 before being operated on. -- dpaguy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dpaguy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30191 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498713 |
