Help with Conditional Formating Time
I have various deadlines and I have formatted my cells to have a Green background if the deadline is met. So the first condition is "Less than or Equal to." The cell turns red if the deadline isn't met, so the condition is "Greater than." I would type in 12:51 as the conditional value and not worry about a.m or p.m. The numbers are converted to something like 0.03546666. Things have been going along great until I got into early a.m. times, but now I'm having problems. If I type in 12:51 as the conditional value and 11:20 as the actual I should get a green background, but I'm getting red. It doesn't seem as if AM or PM should make a difference in the outcome, but something strange is going on. I tried formatting the actual time as PM, but that didn't make a difference. Thanks for any help. -- jonhunt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonhunt's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35370 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=561199 |
Help with Conditional Formating Time
I have entered 12:51 as the conditional value, so I suspect the problem must be in how the entered values for the deadline and actual times are formatted. They obviously have to be formatted as times and I've tried all sorts of ways, but it isn't working. -- jonhunt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonhunt's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35370 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=561199 |
Help with Conditional Formating Time
Jon,
If I understand what it is you are saying then you entered 12:51 in the conditional formatting dialog box and it turned into 0.03546666 which is equivelant to 00:51. All times entered that are after nine minutes to one in the morning will therefore be greater then the conditional time thus will turn red. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland with @tiscali.co.uk "jonhunt" wrote in message ...
