Example: In cell A19 there is a date that says 3-11-05 it should be bolded because it is 6 months in the future from today's Month-Year. Another Example: In cell A2 There is a date that says 3-26-05 it should be bolded because it is 6 months in the future from today's Month-Year. If the date is more than 6 months I am going to change this formula to turn red. If it is less than today I am using: =A19<TODAY() Thank you for your help.

BUT With a date of 3-11-05 in the cell, the expression evaluates to: 9-11-05, which is NOT the same as 8-11-04, so it won't turn orange and explode! By the bye, what happens when your month in the cell is greater than 6? Does it give an error or does it increment the year?
