    Conditional Formatting, Predicted Number against Actual by Actual Date

    Distributor Monthly Summary Josh test.xlsx

    Hey Guys,

    In B17 is the predicated figure for the end of month, in C17 - H17 is the actual figure so far.

    Would it be possible to have cell's C17-H17 show green if the actual figure is tracking ahead or in line with where it should be for the current time of the month and red if not?

    If so how would I go about that?

    Many Thanks

    I'm sorry I should have specified the sheet!

    The calculation needs to happen in the Distributor Summary Sheet it probably makes more sense now!

    I'm on a Mac, if I got into conditional formatting and add new rule all I get is drop downs nowhere to enter a formula?

    Re: Conditional Formatting, Predicted Number against Actual by Actual Date

    And I appreciate very much your kindness that's why i do my best trying to help you.

    When we use use the text function with dates i try to don't post a sample worksheet because in Greece we have different local settings for months-dates that in fact are text. So in Conditional Formmating rules you will see this formula.

    =TEXT(TODAY();"μμμ")=C$2

    μμμ in Greek=mmm in English.

    so do it like this.=TEXT(TODAY(),"mmm")=C$2

    Also in row 2 i used the Greek name of the months. Replace these with English ones...

    Hope that helps..
