    How to highlight cell once X days passed from date in previous cel when it contains a list

    Hey there

    I'm really new to Excel and have been teaching myself as I go along but I've got stuck and no amount of Googling is helping.

    I have 2 problems

    1. I have put a formula in a cell which works out the days elapsed between 2 dates (unless the second date is blank, in which case it calculates to
    today)
    How do I make that highlight with a colour if the value is more than 14 working days?
    So far I have =IF(F3>0, IF(H3>0,H3-F3, TODAY()-F3),0)

    2. I have a cell (DG) which already has a drop down list in it (I used a bit of VBA programming I found on the net to make it so I can select multiples
    from the list, don't know if that makes any difference). I need the cell to highlight with a colour if the date between cell AY and cell DG is more
    than 90 days (TODAY) but I want it to stay blank if there is no date in AY. I also need it to turn back to normal (no fill) once I select something
    from the list. Is that even possible?

    Many Thanks
    to put in there.

    Hi

    Use your formulas in conditional formatting, if it still does not work upload a sample worksheet for us all to have a look at for you.

    Thanks for the reply, I'm afraid I can't upload it as it's a work doc.

    What do you mean by using conditional formatting on my formulas?

    Ok sorry I was being really dim. I've dealt with question 1, still very much stuck with question 2
