Hello All,

this is my very first post and also first question since I am breaking my brains over this one since I have been working with Excel 2007.

I have solved many problems with the solutions presented here.

I have multiple workbooks which contains numerous different dates.

and I need to make them flash when the dates are due within one week etc.

I would like to know what kind of command in vba or formula in excel it needs.

Kind Regards,
Vincent Arjan van Vessem
 
I think what I want is not able to be done.

what I want is the next example:

today is 15/6/2009
There is a checkup due in 8 days.
but what I want is when that checkup has exactly 7 days and counting.
so once it the date is 16/6/2009 the date has to start flash red.

but what I noticed is that you can only enter an specific date and not like

"NextTime = Now + DateValue(7)

where the 7 is the datetext version of 7 days from now on.

(start to flash when highlighted date is within the range of one week.

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Can you add an additional column or row to your sheet? Only thing I can think of is to try and run the function using a trigger from another cell. Your extra column or row could have a simple IF formula based on start date and target date, that when true runs the function. I'm sorry I'm not good enough with VBA to solve completely, but I think that would work. I know that you can somehow save that procedure as a user function, and I think that could be called from a formula.
I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm talking rubbish.
