    Conditonal formatting help?

    Hi All, I need some help with formatting a cell.
    What I think I basically want is... if today is greater or equal to (another cell with date) + 5 days AND the cell is blank turn cell red. I would imagine this is something along the lines of IF TODAY > OR = H3 + 5 AND ''blank'' turn cell red (sorry am not great on writing formulas at all!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the board

    I suppose the cell were the formula should be inserted is the one to test ( say A1)
    so try
    =and(today()>H3+5,A1="")
    as formula for your CF
    Quoting entire posts clutters the forum and makes threads hard to read !

    Hello,

    you need a conditional format with a formula. Select the cell that you want to format, for example cell L3 and enter this formula

    =AND(TODAY()>H3+5,ISBLANK(L3))

    Depending on whether or not you want to apply the format to other cells, you will need to make the row and/or column references absolute.
