    Need help with conditional formatting dates to highlight 1 year after cell date

    Hello everyone!

    Im having an issue with condtionally formatting multiple date cells to highlight if over one year from original date from cell. Its for a tracker for training certificates that expire after 1 year from completion date. To give an example: Suicide Awareness training was completed on 25-Dec-11 would still be good as of today but if it was completed on 5-November-11 it would be expired. There are multiple different dates going down in the columns. I would like to highlight the expired training in red. Any help is appreciated! If you need more info please let me know.

    hi regulus1086, welcome to the forum. assuming your data is in A2:A10, select them & go to Home -> Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Use a formula to determine which cells to format -> Format values where this formula is true:
    =TODAY()>EDATE(A2,12)

    format the colour you desire & click oK

    Thank you for the welcome benishiryo! The formula worked perfect! One question though, i have 8,189 cells that need that formula, is there a way to copy that formula to each cell and use each individual cell date for the formatting? To give you an example: B2's date is 7-Sep-12, B3's date is 27-Jun-12. I need it to check each cell's date and perform a highlight if it is currently 1 year today from the date in each cell.
