    I want to conditional Formatting to a specific color if date is reached?

    In J4 there a specific date, I want to conditional Formatting B4:P4 to yellow if that date is reached, after that the color will become permanent until P4 = text "*Complete*"?

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    In this example when the date is today it will conditional format B4:P4 in color green. But i need instead of only formatting today date, to after the specific date J4 in that case 09/03/2019 is reached than it will remain filled with green until R4 "complete" is selected from a list. If R4 "Complete" is selected than B4:P4 will go back to normal.

    Try changing the CF formula to...
    =AND($J$4=TODAY(),$R$4<>"Complete")

    Re: I want to conditional Formatting to a specific color if date is reached?

    After changing the date J4 to 09/04/2019 , the CF stopped filling B4:P4. I would like to after J4 date is reached than it would remain filled for any succesive date until R4 "Complete" is selected. Is that feasible with a formula?

    OK you need to decide if you want this based on the actual date you entered in J4, or if you want it based on today's date?

    Maybe this?
    =AND($J$4<=TODAY(),$R$4<>"Complete")

    After J4 date is reached , than it will permanently fill wil green color until R4 "Complete" is selected.

    J4 = 09/03/2019

    Example:
    09/03/2019 is 09/03/2019
    09/04/2019 is 09/04/2019
    09/05/2019 is 09/05/2019

    09/06/2019
    Than R4 Complete is selected and it will go back to 09/06/2019

    In this example the font color was changed to green but like in the workbook it supposed to be filled with color green by CF.

    Re: I want to conditional Formatting to a specific color if date is reached?

    What was the final solution on this thread?
    I have a similar issue where I want a fill color in a cell if certain conditions are met and I believe the answer is here.
    But - I do not see the solution anywhere. Just see a "The formula worked well".
    Thank You!!

    OK Thanks
    I saw that, but, I thought one of the primary goals was for font color to change in certain situations and I did not see that solved.
