    How To Ignore Blank Cells with Conditional Formatting

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet (attached) where column (G) is a list of dates and I want them to turn green when the date is older than 180 days from today. So I have the CF set as =G2<+TODAY()-180 with the cell set as green, but the blank cells are all green too. I have tried a few different =AND and NOT(ISBLANK) formulas for this and I can't nail it!!!

    Can anybody help so that the cells with the dates older than 180 days go green but all others, including blanks, have no formatting?

    Cheers

    I didn't download your file.

    Maybe like this...

    =AND(COUNT(G2),G2<=TODAY()-180)

    COUNT(G2) makes sure there is a date (number) in the cell.
