  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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)

  7. 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))

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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)

  15. 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

  16. 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)))

  17. 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,

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. 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())

  21. 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.

  22. 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

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

    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)

  28. 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.

  29. 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

  30. 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<>"")

  31. Hello,
    I want to highlight an entire row in which only one cell (H2) contains a date. I would like my whole row to be highlighted red when the date in this cell(H5)is two days away from today (coming up in 2 days).

    Thank you very much

    1. H2 again sorry, not H5

      1. Hello Nicolas,

        Select the entire rows that you want to highlight beginning with your first row with dates, e.g. A2:I100. And create a rule with one of the following formulas:

        Date in H2 is exactly two days away from today:
        =$H2-TODAY()=2

        Date in H2 is 1 or 2 days away from today:
        =AND($H2-TODAY()>0, $H2-TODAY()<=2)

  32. Hi,

    I am trying to format cells so that if one date is entered it will be yellow, if two dates are entered it will become orange and if three dates are entered it will become green. Dates (Uk style! :)) will be all listed in the same cell either:
    - dd/mm/yy (yellow)
    - dd/mm/yy, dd/mm/yy (orange)
    - dd/mm/yy, dd/mm/yy, dd/mm/yy (green)
    Do you know if this is possible please and do you have any tips on achieving this?
    Many thanks in advance!

    1. Hi Georgie,

      Because two or more dates entered in the same cell turn into a usual text string, you can write formulas based on how many commas a certain cell contains, if any.

      For example, if your dates reside in column A beginning in row 2, you can use the following formulas:

      Green (3 dates): =SEARCH(",*,", $A2)
      Orange (2 dates): =SEARCH(",", $A2)
      Yellow (1 date): =$A2<>""

      Please note, the rules order is important, so make sure the green rule is the first in the list of rule, and the yellow rule is the last.

  33. It was very useful using your tips..
    Thank you..

  34. I have a date column to identify when individuals leave. I would like the color to change from green being >90 days out, <90 days out- yellow, and <30 days out red. How do I accomplish this?

  35. order date un/st back order estimated arrival
    12 21/9/15 unit yes
    13 21/9/15 stock no
    14 22/9/15 stock yes 24/09/15
    15 23/9/15 unit no

    estimated arrival time column is conditional formatted with =AND(c2="unit down", d2="yes", ISBLANK(e2))
    which is if the order is unit and back order is yes and estimated arrival time is not mentioned then it highlights in red.

    is there a way I could also add a condition with the above mentioned one...which will also highlight in red if the estimated time is not filled even after 24 hours from the date the order has been placed (column B)?

  36. Hi, I have random dates of the year in a column now I want to highlight the higher/last date of each month but not able to find any condition need help.

  37. Hello, I am employed as a Training coordinator and am trying to have cells in excel turn yellow when an employees' certification is within 30 days of expiry. And then turn red when the certification is expired.

    This is based off a certification that is valid for a 3 year duration.

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  38. Hi,

    I would like to set up 4 columns that change colour based on the date in the another column.

    E.G if column E is the 1/5/15 I would like column F to turn yellow 30 days after the 1st then Red 10 days after that.

    Once a date is entered in column F I would like G to turn yellow 30 days later and red another 10 days after that.

    once a date is entered in column G I would like H to turn yellow 30 days later and red 10 days after that.

    Once a date is in H column I would like I to turn yellow 30 days later and red 10 days after that.

    Your help is much appreciated.

  41. Hi, I have a list of persons with their birthdates.
    I need to check only on a certain month.
    For example: if the birthdate is in October of any year, I need to take an action.
    For any other birthdate, no specific action is needed.
    Therefore I want to conditionally format with a color so I can filter or sort on the color.
    Thanks for your cooperation.

  42. Can I apply 2 conditional formats to the one cell such as:

    1.If the cell value changes from $0.00 to a higher amount the text colour will change to red, this conditional formatting I have successfully set.

    2. the text colour of the same cell as above will change to blue if the date changes to a date in the current month in another cell? I have tried a few different formulas, nothing seems to work.

  44. Hi. I am trying to create a tracker for all employee certificates. Columns represent each employee and rows define the dates of expiry of certificates. I would like to change the color of the cells when the expiry date is getting closer to today's date. Orange for dates within 15-30 days, red orange for 0-14 days and red for expired dates. I also want to highlight in green the valid dates. I have tried doing it using the formula below but when I test it, the whole row becomes orange and not just the cell. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please help. Thanks.

    =AND($A$2-TODAY()>15,$A$2-TODAY()<=30)

  45. I use template Pro, I need help this.
    Saturday and Sunday are excluded from workday in Gantt chart pro, but I want to exclude only Sunday. How can I changed this?

  46. how to calculate number of days less than 1 month from column with dates. I couldn't find a formula for this. Is it so simple as it is not here?

    1. Hi Monica,

      If you want to highlight the past dates within 1 month from today's date, you can create a rule with the following formula:
      =TODAY()-$A2<=30

      If you are looking for something different, please clarify.

  47. Also, not sure if this matters but I applied it to rows instead of columns and that seemed to help as well.

  48. SOLVED IT!! This formula works! Posting in case someone else needs it. :-)

    =AND($E2<DATEVALUE("2/7/2015"), $F2<DATEVALUE("2/7/2015"))

  49. Second formula: =AND($E2>DATEVALUE("2/7/2015"), $F2>DATEVALUE("2/7/2015"))

  50. It just keeps combinging my formulas....trying two separate comments.

    First formula: =AND(42041<$E2, 42041<$F2)
