Hello.
This is my task.
Kenneth WoodDV23/05/202119/11/2021Here

I wish to enter a formula in column 5 where it says "Here" so that it reads column 4 "19/11/2021". So that when today's date is added each day, the DV becomes *.
Tried numerous ways but I cannot get it to delete DV and replace it with *.

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
You cannot have a formula change the contents of another cell. Why not add a formula in column 2 to show an asterisk if column 5 is today's date?

It is more complicated than that. DV means double vaxed. Our passports last 6 months so when if the entry date is today's date then 6 months time I need to show that it has expired. Can I do conditional formatting in column 5 to show in column two a colour change? to yellow. I did try but I can get the date to show up yellow but not the DV.

Yes, Highlight Both Cells B2 and D2 and enter a conditional formatting formula: =$D2<=EDATE(Today(),-6). Then choose the color you want to fill.
