  1. is it possible to start the colouring of the conditional formatting of the cell from the beggining

  2. Hello,

    I am hoping you could help me with a little conditional formatting problem I am having.

    I have a sheet full of dates particular employees have completed training on.

    I am trying to get the cells to turn green if the date is less than two years from today and red when the date entered into the sheet is older than 2 years (730 days)from today.

    eg. If the date in the cell reads 01/06/2015 it would be green and if the date in the cell reads 01/06/2013 it would be red.

    NOTE: Example above assumes today's date is 01/06/2016

  3. Hi, I need your help with color coding cells within a column that contains a vlookup formula to bring in that date, I need to color code those dates that fall within a range a certain color, 0 to 6 months, 6 months to 11 months and 11 months and older. Since some of the cells have #N/A from no data found from the vlookup, these would be left non-colored. Is this something you can help me with.

    Thank you,
    Jacqueline

  4. Hi
    How to I create a table that when the date from the drop down list is approaching the next cell will change colour. eg, next month will make the cell turn red as it is a closer date and 3 months time will be orange and any dates further away will be green

  5. Hello,

    I am trying to figure out a way of showing if an item has been ordered more than once in a 6 month period.

    I have the list of product codes in one column and the date they were ordered in an adjacent column. Is there a way of highlighting repeated product numbers within a 6 month period?

    Thank you

  6. Hello!

    I have a column of different dates that appear in this format (12-Aug-15) and I would like to format these dates based on their age.

    For example, I would like the cell to be green if the date in the cell is less than 180 days old, orange if the date is greater than 180 days but less than 270 days, and red if the cell date is 365 days or more.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  7. Hello I have a spreadsheet where I have columns C,F,I,L,O, and R with dates. I used the this month and next month rule but want to add a rule for 60 to 90 days and 91 to 120 days. I used the following formula but it did not seem to work: In 30 to 15 days, inclusive: =AND($A2-TODAY()>=15, $A2-TODAY()<=30). I switched out the 15 for 60 and the 30 for 90. I am not sure how the $A2 applies and that is where I am getting lost. I assume it is the start of the spreadsheet date but have played out with this with no results. Can you please assist.

    Thank you

  8. For my work's tracking sheet, we highlight the cells yellow for attempts with the date listed as mm/dd/yy and no highlight when we have made contact with the date of contact as mm/dd/yyyy. I am trying to get the cells to automatically highlight when entered as mm/dd/yy. I tried the =CELL("format",$A2)="D4" formula and it did not work. Any suggestions?

  9. Hi
    I have this scenario where in column A I have the date (04/25/2016) and in column B I have the time (12:46 PM)
    I am trying to find a formula where I can change the date and time when the time mentioned in the column B is 3:00 Pm or above and it should reflect the next day in the date column with 7:00 AM as the time in Column B.

    Example : column A - Column B
    04/25/2016 - 3:00 PM
    It should change to
    04/26/2017 - 7:00 AM

    Is there any way I could do that ?

  10. in conditional formatting how to highlight dates greater than 10th of every month ?

    1. Hi Suresh,

      You can create a rule with this formula, where A1 is the topmost cell with date.
      =DAY($A1)>10

  11. Hi,

    I have two dates in my Excel sheet:

    1. Booking date
    2. Departure date

    How can I highlight Departure day Red with a comment popping out if the difference between booking day and departure day is less then 7 days?

    Thanks for your help in advance,

    G.

  12. So I set a cell to search for the oldest date with no issues. I am using this as a re-certification tracker for 1, 3, and 5 year and need to see how to sort and then add to the date in 1,3,and 5 year increments.

  13. Hope someone can help with this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I am trying to have Excel return the word Active or Expired in a cell based on a support contract end date.

    I have the end date of the contract in cell I11

    In cell I13 I have used the following formula =I11<TODAY()

    This returns either a TRUE or a FALSE, depending on the current date and the date that is in cell I11.

    I want cell I13 to convert the TRUE or FALSE to either Expired or Active.

    So if value is TRUE then I want to see the word Expired in cell I13.

    If the value is FALSE then I want to see the word Active in cell I13.

    Thanks again.

    1. Never mind, got it worked out. You have a great site here. Thanks for having it available.

  14. Hi! I use spreadsheets for work and I am trying to figure out a formula that has to do with dates.I would like to know if there is a formula i can use that can change the cell color a couple of days before the expiration date in the cell.

    Thanks,

  16. Hello! I have dates in columns A and B, and I want to highlight the cells in column B that are past dates in A. I know I can use =$B2>$A2, but is there a way to condition the whole column rather than each individual cell?

    Thank you!!

    1. Hi Jenna,

      Just apply the rule to all the cells you want to highlight, e.g. A2:A100000.

  17. Help Please! I'm trying to find a formula that work for what I'm needing. I have two due dates 10/1 & 4/1 (Column B contains 1st pmt due date), (Column C contains 2nd pmt due date). I'm trying to find a formula for Column A that will show which pmt either 1st or 2nd pmt is due next.

    from the 8th through the 14th day of the month;
    from the 15th through the 21st day of the month;
    from the 22nd through the last day of the month.

    Therefore, payment due date is on the 3rd working day EXCLUDING Sat, Sun and statutory holiday dates below:
    1-Jan-2016
    8-Feb-2016

    I will be so grateful if you can create this condition formula for us. Thank yo.

  20. I have created a spreadsheet where I have one cell that has a date populated for ex: B4. I have another cel J4 that I want to use to confirm if I met or exceeded that deadline date. So I am trying to use conditional formatting to set it where if I had a date less than the inputted date in B4 it goes green representing that I was on time. If I was late and input a date later than B4 it goes red. And when there is no date added the cel stays white.
    I also would like to have these rules apply to the entire row of J as well.

  21. Hello,

    I can't figure out how to apply conditional formatting for one cell that highlights red when a date that is entered is greater than five days from another cell. Can anyone please break a formula down for this purpose?

    Thank you.

    1. Okay, from reading other comments and answers I found that this is an appropriate formula: =AND(ABS(INT(D4-C4))>5,NOT(ISBLANK(D4))). However, is there anyway to take it a step further and have Excel ignore weekends and holidays in the calculation of the 5 days?

  22. Hi,

    I am wanting to add some formulas to my spreadsheet.

    I have column L (which has a date inserted into it) and column M which will also have a date inserted manually once work is completed, BUT I want Column M to turn red if it has been 15 days after the date inserted into column L, only if a date hasn't been entered into column M.

    TIA.

  23. Hello,

    I hope you can help me with this:

    I have one column of data starting in H2 I need formatting to cover:

    1. Dates over a year old from todays date to be Red

    2. Dates from today one year in to the future to be Green

    3. Dates that are less than a year old and less than a year in the future (everything between the top 2 conditions) to be Yellow.

  24. Hi,

    I need help: I'm trying to create a conditional formatting for due dates that would give color alerts. I want the colours to fill the rows. I have a column for the dates that I want to be altered to but I want the color to fill not just the due dates column cells but the rows as well.

    I also want to know if it's possible to have the color removed after I've entered the required data for the row. Thank you very much for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

  25. Hi there,
    I have a problem I'm trying to solve at work- we have a spreadsheet with dates when a form is due in, and a date when the form was submitted. I want to colour code the dates of forms that missed the deadline. How can I use conditional formatting to tell me which forms were submitted late?
    I hope you can help!
    Thanks

    1. Hi Elliot,

      You can create a conditional formatting rule with a simple formula:
      =$B2>$A2

      Here B is the column with the dates when the forms are submitted, and A is the column with due dates.

      1. Hi!
        What if the due dates and start dates are different every time, will that formula do it?
        Thanks!

  26. Hello,
    I have a spreadsheet with a column contained an expiration date. I would like to conditionally format this column for dates as follows: If the date entered is before the current date, then I would like the text to be red. If the date entered is more than 30 days in the future, I would like the date to be green. If the date entered is equal to or greater than today's date, but less than 30 days out, I would like the text to be orange.

    Thank you for your help!

    1. Hello Becky,

      You need to create a conditional formatting rule for each color:
      1) Use the following formula to make the dates that are before the current one red:
      =AND($D2<TODAY(),NOT(ISBLANK($D2)))
      Here D is the column with dates; the formula ignores blank cells.
      2) The following formula will help you find the dates that are over 30 days in the future to change their background color to green:
      =$D2-TODAY()>30
      3) If the date is the same as the current date, or if it is up to 30 days in the future, you can change its background to orange with this formula:
      =AND($D2-TODAY()>=0,$D2-TODAY()<=30)

  27. HELP! I read about conditionally formatting A2 if the date = x BUT not if an entry has been entered into B2 for example. Could someone help me with a formula? I want cells shaded red in column E if the date occurs in less than 7 days from today BUT I don't want them shaded if an entry has been entered into column F in the same row.

    1. Hello Jesamine,

      You can use the following formula in your conditional formatting rule:
      =AND(TODAY() - INT(E1) < 7,INT(E1)<>INT(F1))

  28. Hi, I have a training spreadsheet which shows a date in cells to show when training was completed. I would like a formula which changes these cells to a colour when they are due for renewal in 3 years time. Some cells are blank which shows training hasn't been completed, so these cells will need to be the same colour as above. Thank you for your help.

  29. Can you help me? I want to use conditional formatting where the cell is to be green if that date (from another cell) is under 14 days and will input the 14th day. Then the cell is colored red if over 14 days.

    Example: 1/7/16 IN ANOTHER CELL(in green) 1/21/16
    12/15/16 (in red) (blank)

    1. Hello Beve,

      You can create two rules with the following formulas:
      1) Apply green color if the date in cell B2 is not more than 14 days away from the date in cell A2:
      =AND(ABS(INT(B2-A2))<=14,NOT(ISBLANK(B2)))
      2) Apply red if the date in cell C2 is over 14 days away from the date in A2:
      =AND(ABS(INT(C2-A2))>14,NOT(ISBLANK(C2)))
      These rules ignore blanks.

  30. Is it possible to condition a single cell to change colors based on its entered date vs. the current date? As an example using a cell with a Due Date, I want the cell to stay "green" up to 3-days before it is due. At the 3-day mark turn "yellow". After the 3rd day and it passes its original due date it turns "red".

    Any assistance would be much appreciated-JM

    1. Hello James,

      You can create three separate conditional formatting rules using the formulas below:
      - One rule will apply green color when there are more than 3 days left:
      =C2-B2>3

      One rule is for turning cells yellow if there are 3 days left to the due date:
      =C2-B2=3

      The third rule will highlight the cells red when there are fewer than 3 days to the due date and 3 days after it:
      =AND(C2-B2<3,C2-B2>-3)

      Here C2 is the due date, and B2 is the cell with the current date.

  31. HI,

    I WANT TO CALCULATE HOW MANY DAYS THERE ARE UNTIL THE NEXT RENEWAL FOR THEIR VISA. AM CREATING A EMPLOYEE DATABASE.
    =DATEDIF(TODAY(),DATE((YEAR(TODAY())+1),MONTH($A2),DAY($A2)),"yd")

    I TRIED THIS AND WORKING FINE. BUT I NEED IT FOR 2-4 YEARS CALCULATION.

  32. Please suggest how to highlight 2nd and 4th Sat and all Sunday in a month as weekend using conditional formatting.

    1. Hello Mali,

      You can create separate rules to highlight certain days of the week. You can use the following formula for the rule that highlights Sundays:
      =WEEKDAY(A2)=1

      You can use the following formula to highlight the second Saturday each month:
      =(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)+(7-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)))+7)=A2

      Here is the formula for highlighting every 4th Saturday:
      =(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)+(7-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),1)))+21)=A2

  33. Hi SVetlana

    I need solution to highlight 2nd and 4th Saturday and all Sundays in a month. I am not expert in excel. Please advise.

    Mali

  34. I am trying to color code a date in a column if the date in the column is < or = to the date in the column before it.

    Example if the date in Column G is <or= to date in Column F color the cell green.

    Every formula I have tried so far has not give me the results I am looking for.

    =IF(f<=g,TRUE,FALSE) =IFdate(G<=F,true, false) =if date g<=f

    I am using exel version 2013 and use a formula to determine which cells to format under the new formatting rules.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciate. Thank you,

    1. Hello Bonny,

      You can use the following simple formula for your conditional formatting rule:
      =F2<=G2

      If there are blanks in the range, you can ignore them by using this formula instead:
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(G2)),F2<=G2)

  35. Hi Svetlana,

    I am using Excel 2003 and I am trying to change cells in column B red if the date is 6 weeks greater than the date in column B. I am not sure how to get excel to recongise this other than today.

    Thanks

  36. Hi Svetlana,

    we have created sheet for Service report tracker to my team, so if some one log a complaint today that compliant it should show one colour if still the complaint not fixed it in 15 days it has to go to different colour and if the compliant call has closed it has to go to the different colour Can you tell me the formula I should use?

    1. Hi Peter,

      You need to create two conditional formatting rules and choose to use the formulas below. Say, if your dates are in column A, and a note that the complaint is fixed is in column B, then use one rule to highlight all dates in column A red if more than 15 days passed and if the cell in column B is blank:
      =AND(TODAY()-A2>15,ISBLANK(B2),NOT(ISBLANK(A2)))

      Create the second rule to highlight cells in column A green if there is anything entered in column B:
      =AND(NOT(ISBLANK(B2)),NOT(ISBLANK(A2)))

  37. created a timesheet for employees that highlights weekends and Federal Holidays. would like a formula for conditional formatting to highlight the Federal holiday a day before or a day after if it falls on a weekend. e.g. 4th of July 2015 falls on Saturday, instead of highlighting that Saturday, want to highlight the day before Saturday(in this case Friday July 3). If it had fallen on Sunday, i'd like to highlight the next day(in this case Monday). thanks,

  38. Hi, i am trying to format - highlight a rows based on date in the corresponding cell in that row, so every day would the row would have a different color.
    For example i have a table :
    A1 - Task column, B1- Date, C3 - Start time, D4 - End time and etc.
    so it might be several tasks different rows following one after another for 11/25/2015
    so i it can be only two colors but need to highlight all rows for that day in one color and let say - next day 11/26/2015 i have more tasks to be highlighted in another color.
    I would really appreciate your help, thanks

    1. Hello Andrey,

      You can alternate row colors when the date changes, please see the solution described here:
      https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/alternate-row-colors-excel/#value-based

      If you want to use more colors, you can create conditional formatting rules for as many colors as you want to use with the formulas below. Say, if you want to use 3 colors, you would need to create three rules with the following formulas and assign each one a color:
      =MOD($B2,3)=2
      =MOD($B2,3)=1
      =MOD($B2,3)=0

  39. Hi I am trying to show various cells at different stages from an expiration date! So if Colum E is 31/12/2015. i would like blank cells within L-S to show once they are say L is 15 days past this and M 3mths past this and N is 6 mths past this etc? Is this possible??
    Thanks in advance?

    1. Hello Gareth,

      If we understand your task correctly, you can create conditional formatting rules with formulas for each of the cells you want to highlight, e.g. for M4 the formula would be:
      =E4-D4<=90
      Here E4 is the cell with the expiration date and D4 is the cell with the current date. If
      You can add another rule for N4 the same way:
      =E4-D4<=180

  40. Hi Svetlana,

    I have a member roster where dues expire at the end of the year. They are entered as 2015/12/31 in column S beginning in row 3.

    I need two formulas. Because the member's name is far to the left in column A, I want to (1) change the cell fill color of the member name if the expiration date is in the current year and (2) if the expiration date is in the previous year or earlier. I want to apply the formula to all rows of members, more than 500 names.

    Would you help me? How could I do that with conditional formatting?

    Many thanks and looking forward to your help.

    1. Hello Joe,

      You need to create two conditional formatting rules with the option to "Use a formula to determine which cells to format", and apply the rules to column A.

      One rule should look for years that are earlier than the current:
      =YEAR(S3)<YEAR(TODAY())
      The second rule should find the current year:
      =YEAR(S3)=YEAR(TODAY())

  41. Hello Swetlena,

    Is there any way in which I can use Red & Green coloue together in one column to reflect the expiry date.

    The green colour fades more towards the red colour as the expiry date approaches?

    Regards,
    Akhil

    1. Hello Akhil,

      You can select the range with dates and create a conditional formatting rule with the "2-Color Scale" format style. Select green color for the minimum value and red for the maximum value, choose to use formula for the maximum value and refer to the cell with the expiry date, e.g. =$B$11.

  42. Hi Miss Svetlana,

    I have a problem on my report. My Boss want to see the my data and highlighted using conditional formatting for the clients have no record or data for past six months and my report was format by month. I hope you can help on this.

    Thank you.

    1. Hello Adrian,

      When you create a conditional formatting rule, choose to "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and try the following formula:
      =A2>EOMONTH(TODAY()-210,0)+1

  43. I have a problem with conditional formatting "greater than value".
    I'm trying to create a new rule wherein the values are results of time difference and of "if" formula.
    This is how it goes. =if((7:05 AM-7:00 AM)>0,(7:05 AM-7:00 AM),"0:00) but the formula bar contains =if((K11-M11)>0,M11-K11,"0:00")
    The answer should be 0:05 mins and I tried conditional formatting it.
    The conditional formatting rule is like this;"Cell Value>0:00","AaBbCc"(this are formatted in red font color),Applies to cells from "=$O$11:$O$16".
    The answer in from the formula bar should turn red(0:05) and it did, except the problem is it turned all the other cells answers (0:00) into red.

    1. Hello,

      You can use a simple formula =M11-K11 first and set the cell format to time -> 13:30. This way you will see minutes in the format you need. Then create a conditional formatting rule based on the following formula:
      =MINUTE(M3-K3)>4
      It will highlight all values that are over 4 minutes.

  44. Hi Svetlana
    If training dates are entered within a range of cells for the current month (if we are in Oct, then all dates will be October dates), and all cells are formatted so that dates entered are red and look like dd/mm/yyyy, how can I conditionally format the red dates for October to change to black 5 days into the new month so that any new November dates entered at the start of the month remain red, while the rest change?
    Essentially, we need a gap between the end of the month and when the previous month's dates change so that we can send reports of previous month's activities.
    Would really appreciate your help with this.
    Thanks :)

    1. Hello Lynette,

      Please try to create a new conditional formatting rule, choose to "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and enter the following formula:
      =OR(MONTH(A2)=1, A2<=EOMONTH($A$2,0)+5)

      Please replace column A with the column where you have the dates.

      Click "Format" to change the found dates to black font and click Ok.

      You need to create a conditional formatting rule, choose to "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and enter the following formula:

      =IF(C2<>"",LOOKUP(2,1/(C2-DAY(C2)=C$2:C$100-DAY(C$2:C$100)),C$2:C$100)=C2,FALSE)

    1. Hello Dale,

      Please try one of the following formulas in A3 to calculate the number of days between the start date and today, or between the start day and the end date if it is entered in cell A2:
      =IF(A2="";TODAY()-A1; A2-A1)
      Or
      =IF(ISBLANK(A2); TODAY()-A1;A2-A1)

  47. HI,
    HOw to print the current date in a cell based upon the change in the color of the cell?

    1. Hello Pruthi,
      If we understand your task correctly, you can use the following VBA code that one of our developers wrote for you:
      - Open your Excel file;
      - Press Alt+F11 on your keyboard;
      - Double-click the sheet name in the list and paste the code below, but change the reference to your data range and the cell with the necessary color:
      Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
      Dim color
      Dim i As Integer
      Range("J2").Select
      color = Selection.Interior.color
      Range("F2:F11").Select
      For i = 2 To 11
      Range("F" & i).Select
      If Selection.Interior.color = color Then
      Selection.Value = Date
      End If
      Range("G" & i).Select
      If Selection.Interior.color = color Then
      Selection.Value = Date
      End If
      Next i
      End Sub

  48. Hi Svetlana,

    I want to use conditional formatting to show (via color highlighting) if a date entered into a cell is within the current calendar year (at any time the spreadsheet is opened). Can you tell me the formula I should use?

    Thanks!

    1. Hi Kevin,

      You can create an Excel conditional formatting rule based on a formula similar to this:

      =YEAR(TODAY())=YEAR($A1)

      Where A1 is the cell containing your date.

  49. Hi I am a total loss here

    I have a column (D5) with Certificate Test/Start dates (YYYY/MM/DD) I then have a column (E5) with months eg. 3,6,12,24 etc, these indicate the months before the certificate needs to be "retested".

    These month values are variables so I can't hardcode a value like Cell Value less than =NOW()-365 (This is for a year validity certificate) and =NOW()-(E5*30.5) meaning month x days, this doesn't work or I am just screwing up the format.

    I want to do a conditional format on D5 that uses E5 to flag D5 as RED (expired), YELLOW (30 days before expiry) and GREEN (still valid)

    Can anyone please help :(

    1. Hi Nick,

      You can use the following formula to calculate the expiry dates:
      =DATE(YEAR($D5), MONTH($D5)+$E5, DAY($D5))

      And than you can create 3 rules with the following formulas based on the expiry date (say in column G):

      Red:=$G5-TODAY()>30

      Yellow:=AND($G5>TODAY(),$G5-TODAY()<=30)

      Green: =$G5-TODAY()>30

      If you don't want an additional column with expiry dates, you can replace G5 in the conditional formatting formulas with the Date function, e.g.:

      Green: =DATE(YEAR($D5), MONTH($D5)+$E5, DAY($D5))-TODAY()>30

  50. Hi,

    I have a date, order #, and arrival date columns

    is there a way to highlight the arrival date column if it is empty after 24 hours from the respective order date?

    For Example:
    order # 3 is placed on 10/04/15 and arrival date is not mentioned until 10/06/15 then it should be highlighted in a different color on 10/05/15

    1. Hello Lijina,

      Supposing that the order date is in column A and arrival date is in column B, and row 2 is the topmost row with dates, select the arrival date column (B) beginning with row 2, and create a rule with the following formula:

      =AND(TODAY()-($A2+1)>0, $B2="", $A2<>"")
