    Using conditional formatting to show status of shipments.

    Good morning Excel Forum,

    I need help with conditional formatting, maybe even using offset. Here's my dilemma;
    - Trying to figure a way to show a status of over due in column K, using the scheduled date in column G against todays date. If possible having a transitioning color (green to red) would be better great. I am required to ensure our shipments are on time and the previous manager had no way to track these shipments. Also is there a way to number the row and skip the blank rows? There are several more rows in the original file. Thank you in advance for your help!

    try the attached see the conditional formatting - viewing it is easier than explaining it - uses simple formula in cell that gives days between Today() and date uses this figure to establish a max/min for the colour gradient.
    simple row formula in column 'A' - the format is a 'structured table' so all formatting/formulas etc., dynamically expand when you fill the row below the table - type in column 'B' first table then expands - column 'A' will look after itself.

    Thank you, I wasn't sure if I wanted to use a table but I think this will help a lot. I appreciated the help.

    I appreciate the help. I think everything is great. My only other question would be, Is there an easy way to differentiate and calculate the different types? Not every shipment will have a sub or just two. Also I would need all negative days to show as red.

    Just found out my Supervisor doesn't like the tables. I swear he has it out for me! Back to the original excel file.

    Using the original file try applying the following to K12:K40 =AND(B12<>"",K12<TODAY())

    Re: Using conditional formatting to show status of shipments.

    Thank you JeteMc, but I don't think that will work for what I want to do. I have a feeling I will be manually entering and editing this file.

    Re: Using conditional formatting to show status of shipments.

    I feel that if we had more information about "I don't think that will work" we might be able to come up with other options.
    I suggest uploading another file that shows what your data looks like at the starting point and as I assume Sheet1 is the desired end point.
    Also, there is no explanation of what constitutes "could be late" in the original file, so we don't know when yellow fill should be applied.
    Let us know if you have any questions.

    Re: Using conditional formatting to show status of shipments.

    JeteMc,
    Thank you for the help. My boss likes the original format. I have explained by using a table there would be more options, he may be onboard with using the tables now. We are in the process of creating a data base that we could extract the information into this file/format (the reason my boss is starting to understand a different view).

    The data base will not be finished until middle of first quarter 2023. Hopefully the software will have a reports sections we could use, so for now if I could get help finalizing the attached file I'd really appreciate the help!

    I like the status showing the days overdue or days until the due date. The date status should be red if the number is negative. if today is greater than the due date, or the scheduled date has passed the status needs to be red. I would like to be able to show the total number of products, the number overdue, if possible the number of sub or specific number of products (apples, bananas, etc.) For example; I have a shipment of Oranges, but there are two specific types of Oranges on the shipment Bergamot and Blood. The specific types will vary as some have more types than others. Since most of this is manually entered per month I'm trying to reduce that time with the formulas and conditional.

    Thank you again for all of the patience and help everyone has given me!!

    Re: Using conditional formatting to show status of shipments.

    See if the following fulfills the request:
    1. Modify conditional formatting rule to read: cell value < 0
    2. For Total # of Products: =COUNTIFS(Table2[Manager],"<>")
    3. For Total # of Subproducts: =COUNTA(Table2[Product])-K2
    4. For On Track: =COUNTIFS(Table2[Status],">=0")
    5. For Overdue: =COUNTIFS(Table2[Status],"<0")
    6. For cells K9:K18 =IF(LEFT(J9,5)="total",SUMPRODUCT(--(Table2[Group]=TRIM(RIGHT(J9,LEN(J9)-SEARCH(" ",J9))))),K8-1)
    Note that a new column H ([Group]), which could be hidden for aesthetic purposes, has been added to the table.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
