    You may also want to cater for the case that S6 is not equal to today's date. In the formula above, the result would be FALSE, which does not look pretty. So maybe

    =IF($S$6=today(),"complete","")

    You use this formula to Conditional format rules.. Not in the cell...

    Can you upload a small sample workbook?
