I am trying to format a cell where it will either change color, or something after a certain date. I am building a spread sheet for a qualification tracker where I can add due dates and drop dead dates. Once that date is reached, I would really like to be notified by e-mail but I don't know if excell could do that. But if it could either change the color of the cell or something so when I go into the spread sheet, it is easily seen that something ie either due or expired.
conditional format will do that , and you can use today() to test the date
if you drop dead date is in cell A1
then use
today() > A1
so once that date is less than todays date it will show true and so you can use in conditional format and change colour
you can also email, but that would need VBA , and not my expertise, but there are hundreds of example of using email based on dates here
