    Due date with conditional formatting

    Hello everyone:

    I was wondering if someone could help me figure this out.
    Column B: Date submitted
    Column C: Due date
    Based on these dates I need the due date cell to change its color once 4 business days from the date it was submitted has elapsed.


    Thank you.

    Re: Due date with conditional formatting

    I forgot to add (it would not let me edit) that I have the formula =WORKDAY(B3,4) for each cell but I do not know how to make it so it changes color when the due date arrives. Thank you once again!

    Re: Due date with conditional formatting

    Hi

    If i understoond well your point, then:

    Column B: Date submitted>>>example>>>03/01/2012
    Column C: Due date>>>>> =WORKDAY(B3,4)

    So the Conditional Formatting in C3, is this:>>>Formula is>>> =Today()

    In other cells>>>Formula is>>> =C3=TODAY().

    hOPE TO HELPS YOU.

    Oh wow thank you, let me make sure I got this right

    I selected cell C3, click the option conditional formating>new rule>use formula to determine which cells to format:
    =Today()

    I then selected C4, click the option conditional formating>new rule>use formula to determine which cells to format:
    =C3=TODAY()

    Thank you!!!!

    I must be doing something wrong because when I applied the formula you gave me, the 1/11/2012 dates is highlighted but the 11th isn't until 2 days from now

    Date Submitted Date past due
    1/5/2012 1/11/2012
    1/5/2012 1/11/2012
    1/5/2012 1/11/2012
    1/5/2012 1/11/2012


    Thank you once again

    Re: Due date with conditional formatting

    I thought I was going insane, so do you happen to know how I can make the due date to highlight in red ONLY when that due date arrives? I have no clue how to!

    Thanks again!

    Re: Due date with conditional formatting

    It did work, sorry I had the previous one opened instead!! I clicked on your star icon

    I was wondering if you wouldn't mind another question? I want to use the submit date, due date formula I use earlier however in this particular sheet I do not know the submit date, therefore the =WORKDAY(B3,4) formula gives out an error. What formula can I use on the submit date so that I can use the formula?
    I thought of doing TODAY or now but that didn't work!
    Also how can I make it so the due date column is blank so when a date is entered on the submit date it automatically adds the 4 business days? right now it does a weird format 01/10/1990, I tried the F5, Constants remove all but number but it didn't work, what's weird is that this worked on the sheet you helped me with the conditional formatting, I hope this makes sense!!! Sorry for being a pain.

    doesn't have any data in it but just the formula? I tried F5 then

    Re: Due date with conditional formatting

    Hi

    1) If you really, clicked in my *star reb.., then there is a problem there....because i received nothing from you(And now that I think it, is really strange. Yesterday it told me, thanks several people for the right solutions that I gave them, but I did not see a single Reb * star, in my folder ..
    Is there a problem in the Forum Sofrware, or no one wanted to do this????????)

    2) If i understoond well your new point, then in C3, you can use this formula:

    =IF(B3="";"";WORKDAY(B3;4))

    Hope to helps you.
