Nice question, Roger. You need to show the conditional formatting as
'Formula' rather than cell value, then type the following formula in the
box:

=DATEVALUE(DAY(TODAY())&"/"&MONTH(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1))=(TODAY())

This is based on my European date style. For a North American
installation, you might have to reverse the position of "DAY(TODAY())"
and "MONTH(A1)".

"A1" of course is the assumed first cell of the range to take the
conditional format.

All the best.

Ray

Subject: [mso] Conditional Format in Excel97 



Hi,  Can you help please?

In a worksheet containing many columns showing dates as just a Month and
Year, I want to use Conditional Formatting to show the current month in
a distinct style, (e.g. Red Bold font) so that they stand out.

How can I specify the 'Current Month' in the Conditional Formatting box
Please?

Thanks everyone,  Roger
