Default if in conditional formatting


I'm trying to do conidtional formatting and I want the cell to turn a
color if the month is july. So, I set it to 'Formula is' and put this
=IF (MONTH(TODAY()))=7
but it doesn't work. Help?

DKY,

You don't actually need the IF in your statement. Just use,

=MONTH(TODAY())=7

Don't use the IF part, it is implied in Conditional Formatting

=Month(Today())=7 would suffice

How would I do this if I wanted to highlight every cell that has 12/31 (Dec
31) for any year in it?
