    Conditional Formatting a cell based on an entry into another cell

    Does anyone know a formula to conditionally format a cell to change color when a date is entered into another cell?

    Specifically, I have a date in one cell that turns red when it is 7 days past. I want that cell to then turn to green when I enter a completion date in another cell.

    Anyone?

    A date is a number, so...

    =ISNUMBER(B1)

    But make sure this condition is above the red one.
