    Deadline Formula

    Hi, new to this forum so thanks in advance for any help you can give

    I am not the most advanced user of Excel and IF functions etc.. have gone from my memory since college work

    I am currently working on a process using Excel to highlight cells etc depending on dates

    I would like to create a conditional formatting rule that highlights a cell (D5) when it becomes 7 days from the date of input (Cell A5)

    If the date does become 7 days after the date of input text saying 'Yes' would be needed to be put in cell H5

    However, this highlighting can be stopped if another cell (F5) has text containing 'Yes' and cell H5 text can be changed to 'No'

    Thank you for any help any of you can offer

    Regards

    Rob

    Re: Deadline Formula

    Here you go
    in cell H5 : =IF(AND((A5-D5)>7,F5<>"yes"),"yes","no")

    then click on cell D5, select conditional formatting > new rule > use a formula to determine which cells to format > and input =$H$5="yes" in the box, and select your choice of formatting.

    Hi yromanos

    I may have explained it badly but please see attachment

    I want cell D5 to become highlighted when the current date exceeds the date in cell D5

    I also then want cell H5 to say 'Yes' is cell F5 still contains either 'No' or no inputted text at all, if this is possible?

    Thank you for your help

    Hi Sixthsense

    Could you please explain which cells I should be inputting these formulas in?

    Also why has cell E5 been used, as this is just a reference date and not to be used for any formulas, the only reason I want D5 to be highlighted is when the date in the cell exceeds the current date (specific date of today and so on)

    Regards

    Rob

    It is exactly the same process,
    you just need to check the conditions
    see attached excel as per my understanding.

    Re: Deadline Formula

    Hi RobPreston1993

    In H5: =IF(OR($F5={"No",""}),"Yes","")

    And for the Conditional formatting > Home Tab > New Rule > Use a Formula etc: =D5<TODAY()

    Thank you all for your help

    The excel spreadsheet that yromanos attached worked correctly once adjusted slightly
