    Hi,
    Here's how you should go about it : Select the entire data range containing the dates you want to apply the conditional formatting to. Select 'Conditional Formatting' option >> 'New Rule' and click on 'Format only cells that contain'. At the bottom of the dialog box you see the option 'Format only cells with:'. In the first drop down box (typically showing 'Cell Value') click 'Dates Occurring'. In the next drop down box, select 'Today'. Once this is done, further down you see the Format box. When you click it you see four tabs at the top of the dialog box - Number, Font, Border and Fill. Click on Fill and choose green. Press ok and come out of the dialog box.
    Your data should have gotten color coded.
