    Hi,

    Check formula (edit the True part as required, false part will leave the cell blank) in column P. I'd removed the existing conditional formatting conditions in column P and included a new one in the workbook attached.

    Re: Conditional Format for blanks & today date less than 42 days from another cell date

    Hi - Please forgive me but Im not good with excel

    I am trying to do 2 things to all of Column P that with turn the cell a colour if
    1. Column P is blank - the cell in Column P will turn to a colour if todays date is less than 42 date from the date in Column B
    2. Column P has a date - the cell in Coumn P will turn a colour if the date in Column P is less then 42 days from the date in Column B

    I presume that I need conditionial formatting for this - the two can be combined as I only need one colour
    Is this any clearer - I just want to put a formula into conditional formatting you Cells P9-P500

    Thanks again
