Use conditional formatting:

Say your table is in Columns A:G, with your relevant date in column A. Select the entire table and make sure cell A1 is active. Go to the home ribbon and select "Conditional Formatting". Select "New Rule" and subsequently "Use a formula to determine which cells to format". Enter the following formula:

=today() > $A1

Next, click format and select a suitable format to indicate the highlighted rows. Click ok.

Assuming date is in A1, select row 1 and use the formula "=Now()>$A1" in conditional formatting.

Now I am confused...the solution I gave to you highlights the entire line, as your requested in your original post...

Looking at the example you posted, apparently the date you want to check is apparently in column G.

Select the entire column G and make cell G1 active by ctrl clicking on it; add conditional formatting with the formula

=AND(NOT(ISBLANK($G1)),TODAY()>$G1)

In case you are not familiar with conditional formatting, please see New Conditional Formatting Rule - Excel Easy
