    Help with Spreadsheet

    Hi
    I am new to VB etc but have some knowledge of Excel. I will try and explain what I need and hopefully someone can help. I have a tracker spreadsheet. I have a Days Cell and a Date Received cell...when a date is entered into the date received cell then traffic light comes up and starts counting how many days this case has been open for. When a case is closed I want to enter a date in another colum (released) and this will then delete the Days cell contents. I managed to do it with one row but I want this to be active on all rows...hope that makes sense?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Do you want a formula or VBA solution? I am assumimg the latter.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Hi

    Sorry, as I have said a bit new to all this so apologies.

    I have attached the same spreadsheet and hopefully this will help. Basically when a date is added in the B coloum a traffic light comes up counting the days and I want this to be removed should a date be added to colume E.

    Does that make sense?

    I'm a little unclear as to what you want to remove. It sounds like you want to remove the traffic light icon in column A if you enter a date in column E.

    I don't see why you would need VBA for this. Here is the formula in column A, which refers to the date in column C (not B)

    =IF(C7="","",(TODAY()-C7))

    Update the formula to
