Anyway to set date-deadlines?

Posted by Loc on February 11, 2002 10:39 AM

I would like to set this function up:

I have a column of things entitled: "DUE DATE"

I would like to have it so that if the date in the DUE DATE column has passed, Excel automatically turns that date into BOLD/Bright red.

Thanks.

use conditional formatting on your due date cells
in the condition, put date &LT; =now()
then select the format you'd like to see

Assuming that due dates are in E2:E100 with E2 containg the first due date:

Select the range of due dates;
Activate Format|Conditional Formatting;
Choose "Formula Is" for Condition 1;
Enter as formula:

=E2 &LT; TODAY() [ or =E2 &LT;= TODAY() ]

Activate Format;
Select the appropriate attributes on the Font tab;
Click, OK, OK.
