    Re: Conditional Formatting - how to leave blank cells blank - no colour until date populat

    Try changing the 2nd rule to "Use formula" and then try this...
    =AND(D2<>"",D2<NOW()-1)

    add the D2<>"" to the 3rd rule as well
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Hi

    Thanks but when I put =AND($C$2<>"",$C$2>=NOW(),$C$2<NOW()+90) I now get yellow blank cells instead of red.
    IF I put D2 instead of C2 like you said then cell c2 (with a date) goes white ??

    See attached file - thanks
