Hello - what i am trying to do is generate a schedule to shred documents. Currently my company is on a 2 week rotation, I want to be able to manipulate the shred schedule so that for instance, lets say one of the dates ends up on a holiday. Obviously that date will need to be changed. Criteria for documents to be shredded is that it must be at least 366 days past the contents date to be shredded. for instance August 27, 2014 can be shredded on August 28, 2014, but with the schedule i want it to be able to determine when the next shred date is and input that data.

Example Shred date schedule
2016
8-Jan
22-Jan
5-Feb
19-Feb
4-Mar
18-Mar
1-Apr
15-Apr
29-Apr
13-May
27-May
10-Jun
24-Jun
8-Jul
22-Jul
5-Aug
19-Aug
2-Sep
16-Sep
30-Sep
14-Oct
28-Oct
11-Nov
25-Nov
9-Dec
23-Dec

Using the Shred schedule for 2016 i can determine when these following dates can be shredded. I would like to use some type of formula or lookup tool to speed the process up.

"Criteria for documents to be shredded is that it must be at least 366 days past the contents date to be shredded."
I pretty much need to be able to project the shred date the previous year.

I see i made a mistake in the first post
"for instance August 27, 2014 can be shredded on August 28, 2014"
This should be August 28, 2015 - I apologize for the confusion.

I did think it was strange to be shredding important data within two weeks. so basically you need your cell to look at your contents date the last date you want live, then you add 366 to it which would give you . You could then select the column and add a conditional format that show red if it occurs later than today, and green before today. ANything that is green highlight you can then shread
