Formula to Make Overdue date record highlighted in field

[ferranti]

I have created a spreadsheet for samples In and Out of our shop. I have the following fields:-

<table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 342pt;" width="455" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 67pt;" width="89"> <col style="width: 81pt;" width="108"> <col style="width: 87pt;" width="116"> <col style="width: 107pt;" width="142"> <tbody><tr style="height: 24.75pt;" height="33"> <td class="xl24" style="height: 24.75pt; width: 67pt;" width="89" height="33">Loan Date</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 81pt;" width="108">Return Due Date</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 87pt;" width="116">Overdue by x days</td> <td class="xl24" style="width: 107pt;" width="142">Date Sample Returned</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt;" x:num="40391" align="right" height="17">01/08/2010</td> <td class="xl23" x:num="40428" align="right">07/09/2010</td> <td class="xl23">
</td> <td>
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt;" x:num="40360" align="right" height="17">01/07/2010</td> <td class="xl23" x:num="40397" align="right">07/08/2010</td> <td>
</td> <td>
</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td class="xl23" style="height: 12.75pt;" x:num="40393" align="right" height="17">03/08/2010</td> <td class="xl23" x:num="40400" align="right">10/08/2010</td> <td>
</td> <td>
</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
I am hoping someone can suggest the best way to work this in excel.

I basically input manually the Loan Date and then eg. put in the Return Due Date eg. 7 days later (also manually). I would like the whole line to read red and in bold when the return date is passed (showing sample return is overdue).

I would also like the Overdue by X days field to actually put in the number of days the item is overdue. Of course, once the Date Sample Returned is filled in, it will no longer be highlighted in Red.

I know this seems long-winded.. so would be grateful for suggestions.
Many thanks, Al

May this one:

Mark the whole Data area and give this as the Conditional formating "=$C3<>0"

Excel Workbook
	A	B	C	D
2	Loan Date	Return Due Date	Overdue by x days	Date Sample Returned
3	01-08-10	07-09-10	0	06-09-10
4	01-07-10	07-08-10	1
5	03-08-10	10-08-10	0	12-09-10

How about taking Fowmy's worksheet formula one step further, to add another field "Extended to" date. In this sample, the loan date, Date Returned and Extended Date are entered manually, the Return Due Date is calculated (=IF(A2="",,"",Edate(A2,1))). I'm stuck on getting the Days Overdue to consistently return a valid result on each test. Days Overdue should be the number of days from TODAY since either the due date or the extended date, if there is one entered.

In the sample below, I tried the formula =IF(E2="",MAX(TODAY()-B2,TODAY()-E2) as a start. TODAY() is February 2, 2017 in reality.

Of course, this overly simple formula fails on C3 since Date Return was not tested. I'm quickly lost when it comes to nesting IF's, and after hours of chugging away at this I'm lost. Any suggestions? If possible, I'd prefer to keep this clean, with cells filled only if overdue.

Loan Date YYY/MM/DD	Return Due Date YYY/MM/DD	Days Overdue	Date Returned YYYY/MM/DD	Extended Date YYY/MM/DD
2017/02/02	2017/03/02	0
2016/11/02	2016/12/02	62	2016/12/05
2016/11/02	2016/12/02	30		2017/01/03
2016/11/02	2016/12/02	-29		2017/03/03
		#VALUE!
		#VALUE!
