I hate to be a pest, but I cannot get the formula to work. Column A has names in it (I understand I do not need to put the CF on it) The dates will go across by rows, one row for each person. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Blake Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 2:01 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Quick date question for conditional formatting No, just do it on the whole of Row 7, tehn select just A7, select CF and remove it just for that cell.

Will this formula still work or would I have to have an $ in there? I am very new at this. =3D3DA7<DATEVALUE(DAY(NOW()) & "/" & YEAR(NOW())-2) MONTH(NOW()) & "/" & -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Blake Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 1:44 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Quick date question for conditional formatting Forgot to mention - you may need to change the order of the DAY and the MONTH parts here; I'm using European format dates, of course.

In the CF dialog, make sure you change the pulldown to 'formula is', then enter the following: =3D3DA7<DATEVALUE(DAY(NOW()) & "/" & MONTH(NOW()) & "/" & YEAR(NOW())-2) Choose your formatting and click on OK.
