Hi,
I have a row (1) with the dates of the month and below a row (2) with values.
I want to format the second row based on the date in row 1.
If the date is before today or not.

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Al

Hi Stridhan,
Thanks for your reply. But this formula highlight only the cell before today.

The goal is to highlight all the cells before today and afhter today.

Kind regards
