Format cell based on column of dates

**klynne75** · 03-23-2013, 12:21 AM

I'm trying to format a singe cell based on if a row of dates is aged more than 3 days.

Column C is for Load Date. Rows C2:C100 may or maynot have a date in them. Cell C101 is a count (=counta(C2:C100) of how many cells above contain data.

I'm wanting to format C101 to turn red if ANY of the dates in C2:C100 are older than 3 days from the current day.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

You can do this with Conditional Formatting. Find it on the home tab, under STYLES, select "new formula" and select "use formula"

Without seeing your data, this is a guess, but in the CF, try something like =min(C2:C100)+3<today()
