    Cool Change color of current month only

    Thank you for you help in the past!

    Step 1: In cell B1, my VBA puts the # of the current month using MONTH(TODAY()). This can change if you know a better way.

    Step 2: In column B2:B20, there are random 3 letter months
    B2 = FEB
    B3 = MAR
    B4 = AUG
    B5 = FEB
    B6 = DEC
    B7 = JAN
    B8 = AUG
    etc

    Step 3: Knowing that the number in B1 (from Step 1) will change each month, I'm trying to get the current month(s) in B2:B20 to change its font to BOLD RED color. So above, the two FEB should turn to BOLD RED color and the rest would remain unchanged..


    Can you help please?
    Thank you,
    Kutar

    Hello Kutar, add this conditional format formula to the cells in "B2:B20"

    =IF(MONTH(DATEVALUE("1-"&B2&"-"&TEXT(YEAR(NOW()),"####")))=$B$1, TRUE, FALSE)
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
