    Conditional Formatting on Dates

    Hi

    Im looking for some help with the following.

    I have created a spreadsheet and one of the columns I hvae titled planned date, and a I have used conditional fomatting to show orange when I am less than one month away from the date, and to show red when I am less than a week from the date.

    My next column is actual date. If the date I enter is before the planned date, I want the cell in the planned column to go green, even if it is already showing orange or red.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Thanks
    Les

    Set this new condition as the first condition and check the stop if True checkbox.

    you can use Format only cells that contain

    The Cell Value >> Is greater than >> =B2

    where B2 is top most cell in the Actual date column corresponding to top most selected cell in the planned column
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
