    Question Colour coding date cells when one month due

    Good Morning

    I am compiling a training matrix and quite a novice with Excel so help is much needed.

    I want the cell with the expiry date for a training certification to change to red one month before due date.

    Sounds simple, but I have no idea....

    Thank you
    Lisa

    Assuming you've never done this before so her goes, this will highlight days that are 30 days before due.

    1 Highlight the Cell requiring the Format
    2 Select conditional Format
    3 Select "New Rule"
    4 Select "Format only cells that contain"
    5 Select second drop down box and select "Less than"
    6 Select next box to right and type in the following "=today()+30"
    7 Select "Format" for fill colour or Font colour
    8 OK
    9 OK
