Hi Ray, Thanks very much, there is no way i could have come up with that formula on my own!! Much appreciated, Best wishes, Roger From: "Ray Blake" <ray@xxxxxxxxx><br>Subject: [mso] Re: Conditional Format in Excel97 <br>Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 13:17:33 +0100<br><br>Nice question, Roger. You need to show the conditional formatting as<br>'Formula' rather than cell value, then type the following formula in the<br>box:<br><br>=DATEVALUE(DAY(TODAY())&"/"&MONTH(A1)&"/"&YEAR(A1))=(TODAY())<br><br>This is based on my European date style. For a North American<br>installation, you might have to reverse the position of "DAY(TODAY())"<br>and "MONTH(A1)".<br><br>"A1" of course is the assumed first cell of the range to take the<br>conditional format.<br><br>All the best.<br><br>Ray<br><br><br><br> _______________________________________________ No banners.
