    Conditional formatting for due dates and completion percentages.

    Hi All,

    I would like to format a project tracker that I have set up on excel.

    I have a Deadline/Due date column which gives the date the project needs to be completed by (Column J) and I have a percentage column of an estimated % of how far along the project is (Column M)

    What I would like my spreadsheet to do is:

    Highlight the date in column J red when the date passes AND the percentage in column M is less than 100%
    Not highlight the date if the percentage in column M is 100% and the deadline date in column J has passed
    Not highlight the date if the percentage in column M less than 100% and the deadline date in column J has not yet passed

    Can anyone help me with this? I have tried everything I can think of and searched numerous posts!

    TIA

    Re: Conditional formatting for due dates and completion percentages.

    =AND($M4<1,$J4<=TODAY())

    Apply this formula in conditional formatting in column J4 and then copy paste formatting (ALT+H+V+R ) to other cell

    Please find attached solution file

    Thank you!! One more thing, I have applied the above to all cells in that row but the blanks also highlight. How can I stop blanks from highlighting?

    Re: Conditional formatting for due dates and completion percentages.

    without looking at the file, maybe this?
    =AND($M4<>"",$M4<1,$J4<=TODAY())
    (assuming M4 is the cell that would be blank - adjust as needed)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
