I was kindly provided with this formula to turn a cell red when the date was the next day.
The cell however turns back to white when the date is the current date - can it be amended so that it turns red the day before, and stays red when on or past the date?

Thank you :)

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

I commend your dedication!

It still does nothing though! :(

I see you have something in F? I'm only trying to get the dates themselves to turn red, just the D column... dunno if that makes a difference?

Why are you putting your conditional formula in QUOTES?

Column F is building a conditional formula to use for condition in column D.
If the formula in column give you the trues and falses you want, then that is the conditional formula to use.

Why don't you past a TABLE (Copy and Paste) a column D sample, an in column F tell me if it should be red or not.

Ahh I'm sorry, I was just copy and pasting! No idea why it was putting those in.

It looks like it works! It does make all the blank cells red too though... but I can live with it!

It also won't highlight a Monday if you're looking at this on a Friday.
