[mso] Re: Help with Excel formulas please

It's possible I misread the formula but it seems to say:

"If the month in A19 +6 AND the day the same as today AND the year as in A9
is the same as today, then do the formatting."

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?
