Yet Another Conditional Formatting Question...
I'm using an Excel spreadsheet to track agenda items for an upcoming seminar our department is facilitating. The agenda items and other associated information such as date, time, presenter name are being entered by the staff member responsible for each particular item, then I add the new information to the formal agenda document.
Because all of the information is subject to change up until a day or so of the event, I need to find changes easily. I have a column for "date updated" and formatted it to be red anytime the date is within the past week (including today). This works fine in theory -- well, in practice too -- but it only works if the staff member making the changes remembers to put in an updated date. Which they often do not.
I can't figure out how create conditional formatting that will turn each updated cell red if any change is made to it and maybe also to add the date in the 'updated date' column (which will then turn red as above). All of the entries are text, all are different (think session name, presenter, meals and/or lodging required), and some may be changed several times and others not at all.
Thanks in advance for your help -- an excel guru I am not!
