    Formatting cells based on this and future months.

    I am trying to format cells when the month in the date is equal to or grater than the month in todays' date.
    I can do it by using month only formula, but then it also highlights the dates in years past. I want to high light only for yeas going forward.
    This is the formula i have so far build. But it does not seem to to work.

    ="(Year($D2)MONTH($D2))=MONTH(TODAY( ))"

    Welcome to the forum.

    What exactly do you mean by future months?

    Months that are still to occur. My spreadsheets looks at dates in he future and in the past. But when i use a formula that looks at eh months, it also highlights months in the past years.

    So why are you not just simply looking at dates in the future? I don’t get the reason why you are using months at all.

    Maybe this?

    =D2>EOMONTH(TODAY(),0)

    That is what I initially thought as well, but our production teams look at exact dates, but the accountants go by month, even if the days have already past.

    Maybe this, then:

    =D2>EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)+1

    This will highlight any date this month and beyond. Today it will include June, tomorrow it won’t.
