Hi All,

My end goal is for the date in column C to turn red if the date has passed (overdue) UNLESS the text in column D says Complete.

I have attached a screenshot of a small portion of my table to help:
Screenshot 2022-04-27 110226.jpg


For reference:
I currently have a formula in Column C: =B2+15
I currently have a conditional formatting rule which highlights the row if the text in column D matches Complete: =$D2="Complete"
I currently have a conditional formatting rule which turns the text in column C red if it's overdue: Cell Value < NOW()+30
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Do you want to formta the cell if the date is in te past, or if it less than 30 days from today?

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=AND(D2<>"Complete",C2<TODAY(),C2<>"")

=AND(D2<>"Complete",C2<TODAY(),C2<>"")
Would this get pasted in the cell itself or the conditional formatting box?
Im really new to conditional formatting and appreciate the help!!

It needs to go in conditional formatting, new rule, use a formula & paste the formula in the formula box.
