This can be achieved using Conditional Formatting - see here for more info:
http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html To colour as you require you require two conditions in I9: first =TODAY()$D$9+28 set colour as red and second =$I$9$D$9+20 set colour as orange You could of course use two cells remote from your workings enter 20 in one and 28 in the other and use those cell references in the formulae, that way you can, if required, easily change the number of days difference!

Click on I9 and open the Conditional Formatting dialog (in Excel 2007
looking in the Styles group on the Hone tab; in earlier versions open the Format dropdown on main menu). First use the rule / Formula Is: =TODAY()-D929 and format for red Then add a second rule ? Formula Is: =TODAY()-D920 and format for orange See conditional formatting http://www.contextures.com/xlCondFormat01.html best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "RichLive" wrote in message ...
