Condition Formating

[VbaHell]

Hello All
I am using Excel 2007 and require help please

I have data in Columns A to T
In column D I have a date Format dd-mm-yyyy
In Column K I also have a date as the same format.

I would like to set a condition format on each row saying the following

D2 - K2
If the answer is = or less than 2 days difference then highlite the whole row Red

This should be easy but I must admit I have a mental block on how to do this so any help would be great please

Highlight the whole row, then go into Conditional Formatting and select the formula option and enter the formula:

=$D2-$K2<=2

and then choose your formatting option.

If you highlight all your rows (starting at row 2) at the same time that you do those steps, it should be applied correctly to each row (or you can just do it on row 2 and use the Format Painter to copy down to all other rows).

Thank you for your reply, this is working but I have one question, if my rows are blank it also colours the condition format, how can I change the formula to ignore blank cells please

 

[Joe4]

Something like:

=AND($D2-$K2<=2,$D2<>0,$K2<>0)

which also check to make sure both D and K are not blank.

Works great Joe4

If you can actually have zeroes, and don't want them treated as blanks, you can make a slight tweak like this:

=AND($D2-$K2<=2,$D2<>"",$K2<>"")
