    Conditional Formatting-Highlight entire column with today's date.

    I have a list of data on a spreadsheet that I need some help using the conditional format...

    I would like to highlight the entire column that is in the same column as today's date. So if I open it 2 days from now then that day's column would be highlighted.

    Can someone please help?

    OK, to make this easier...

    In C2, enter 1/1/13, then fill that right to BK2.

    If you just want the actual day number to appear as in your example, then apply a Custom date format to those cells (C2:BK2): "d" without the quotes.

    Then, select cells C2:BK26, and click on Conditional Formatting, and use this formula:
    =C$2=TODAY()

    Select the color you want today's column to be highlighted, and click OK.
