    You can use conditional formatting with a rule based on formula. for instance (I set the formatting only for F34:F35):
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    that's nearly what I wanted but not quite ... let try to explain..
    Column E required date to highlight if, overdue and column F is outstanding, ie more that 1....but then not to highlight the date or the outstanding if nothing is outstanding ..ie 0

    Just apply such forrmula based conditional formatting to desired cells (but not by copying formatting, you have to define it again.
    so this time I selected E34:E35 and used to create rule exactly the same formula as above.

    If one needs to format several cells in one row the formula shall have mixed addressing, like:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Re: Conditional formatting for dates

    That is a question far from "Conditional formatting for dates" but:
    * stop sheet protection
    * go to the formatting of the cells you want be accessible/editable for a user
    * uncheck "blocked"
    * apply sheet protection back - all but unblocked cells will be protected, and unblocked will be user editable.
