    Date expirations

    Hi

    Put in the formula =if(today()>A1,"Expired","Ongoing") into the B1 cell. If you require you can also use conditional formatting to turn the B col red for expired.

    Re: Date expirations

    Hi - When you say "...cell a1 will expire in 30 days", do you mean 30 days from the date in cell A1?
    If solved kindly remember to mark Thread as solved.

    And for green / red color.. see the the conditional formatting logics. press (alt + o +d) to bring the conditional formatting logic. thanks

    Thank you so much guys, Im sorry if I did post it twice, Ill be more careful next time.

    I am lost with conditional formatting, can anyone give me a step by step procedure on how to do it using conditional formatting?
    Cell a1 = Nov 8 2012
    Cell B1 = will say expired(filled with red color) or Renewed (filled with geen color). I mean the cell b1 will tell the status of cell a1. Pls help me in details. Big thanks!
