Dear All,

I have a small query on excel and conditional formatting. Here goes:

I have a column that has all dates in them displayed as 02.08.2008 or 15.09.2008.

My question is how do I format these cells so that if the date goes over lets say todays date it highlights the cell in a colour for example?

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Amit Parmar

Format...Conditional formatting

Choose "Formula is" from the drop down box and use this formula, assuming your date is in A1:

=IF(A1>TODAY(),TRUE,FALSE)

Then choose your formatting for when the result of the formula is TRUE and click OK twice.
