Excel 2007 : Conditional formating and highlight complete and overdue dates

[Sniper627]

Hi guys, been looking around the forum to see if this has been brought up before with any luck.

I need to have conditional formating placed on column that gives automated dates. It needs to show overdue dates from today (RED), dates that are due today (Yellow). I also need completed dates (green) and this is based on information from the adjacent row.

I think I have the forumula for the RED and YELLOW formatting but the forumula for highlighting cells GREEN is really confusing as it based on the adjacent cell.

I have attached a spreadsheet that should show what i am looking for and I am using Excel 2007

Any questions please let me know. All help is much appreciated

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. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook question. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results..
To attach a file to your post, you need to be using the main 'New Post' or 'New Thread' page and not 'Quick Reply'.
To use the main 'New Post' page, click the 'Post Reply' button in the relevant thread.

On this page, below the message box, you will find a button labelled 'Manage Attachments'.
Clicking this button will open a new window for uploading attachments.

You can upload an attachment either from your computer or from another URL by using the appropriate box on this page.
Alternatively you can click the Attachment Icon to open this page.

To upload a file from your computer, click the 'Browse' button and locate the file.

To upload a file from another URL, enter the full URL for the file in the second box on this page.
Once you have completed one of the boxes, click 'Upload'.

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.

Hi Fotis1991

Thanks for your help with this.

One issue that i might have forgotton to mention. Date that are greater than Due Today should be left blanked. Do you know how I can do this with you Forumla set up. If you can this work brillant for me. Also if the Due Date cell is blank with no data, then the colour of the cell should also be left balnk.

Thanks again for your help with this. much apprceiated

... Date that are greater than Due Today should be left blanked

?? What you mean by this??

[Sniper627]

dates that are NOT overdue or due today have no background cell colour....currently they turn yellow when they should have no fill.

Many thanks

Hi

That was because of the color format that you had in the cells..

Now if the date is due, there is no color. There is a Yellow color for Today(), date.
If you don't want this, just delete the second rule, in Conditional Formatting..

Hope to be ok now.
