We are using an Excell spreadsheet to track Estimated Arrival Times. Is there a way, possibly using Conditional Formatting, to compare the time in a cell to current time each time spreadsheet is opened - then change font if ETA is passed? Thanks

If the time is input in 24hr time (2300 = 11:00 pm), how do I extract hour/minute, then use the result to compare to now() for the Conditional Formatting?

compare hour(now()) to ur time enter as hh:mm. A substracion between both confirms a difference.
