Expired expiration date with text in the same cell

[2phat4u]

Hello,

I am looking for a formula that it would let me know when the expiration date going to be expired or has expired with the text in the same cell.
For example, Cell A1 contains "ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2012)". How do I write the formula to let me know when the date has expired but the cell must include "ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2012)"?

Is that even possible?



Help, please.

ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2012)

2/2/2012)

10

2/2/2012

02/02/2012

EXP

today's date

20/02/2018

a series of helper cells find if "exp." is present in the cell

if it is the date is stripped out and compared to today's date

if it is prior to today's date "EXP" appears in cell I1

now in A1 in conditional formatting use this equation

=I1="EXP"

to turn cell A1 red

I am confused. I think I tried plugging in the formula and it didn't work. Or maybe I don't know where to plug in the formula. Can you try to post some step by step?

On my excel sheet, A1 has ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2012). I want to know if there a formula to identify the date in A1 cell date expired only. Thanks in advance.

my reply showed you how to pull the date out
so you need
=if(today() - put formula to strip out date here - >0, "exp", "not exp")

What formula do I put in?

=if(today() - put formula to strip out date here - >0, "exp", "not exp")

ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2012)

02/02/2012

formula stripping out date is

=VALUE(IF(ISERROR((SEARCH("exp.",LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)))),"no",MID(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1),SEARCH("exp.",A1)+5,99)))

it is complicated because you are using 2/2/2012 now but you might use 02/02/2012 on another occasion

Thanks.

When I applied the formula under the Rule Type, it turns red because the expiration date expired. When I changed the year to 2020, it is still red. How do I fix that?

let us go back to basics - say cell A1 can only have 3 values, 1,2 or 3
first cond format formulaa will be =A1=1 and set to red
put 1 in A1 and A1 goes red
now without YET adding another formula, make A1=2
A1 loses its red color, it cannot be red because it does not equal 1

did you change the cell in my example to ISO 13485:2003 (exp. 2/2/2020)
