    Automatically Changing fill colour in cells

    Hi folks - a relative newbie here.

    I have set up a very (seemingly) simple training spreadsheet for the whole year.
    Columns are headed with course names and are grouped by months with the colomn showing the intended dates of delivery.
    Employee names are along the rows.
    Relevant Cells are highlighted orange to show which employees need to attend which course.
    Cells are left blank (white) for those employees who do not need to attend a specific course
    When the employee has completed the course the date of the course is entered in the relevant cell.

    What I woud like is: -
    for the cell fill to change from orange to green when a date is entered
    for the cell fill to change from orange to red when no date is entered (showing the employee missed the training course) and the designated month for the course has passed.

    Is this possible?

    Hi frazzled,

    Look for "Add, change, or remove conditional formats" in the Excel Help.

    Cheers,

    Hi ConnexionLost

    I have used conditional formatting to change the cells with a date to green - easy..
    Problem is changing cells with NO date from orange to red when course is overdue

    Any more thoughts?

    Post a workbook with an example of what you want in each case.
