You can probably accomplish what you're looking for by applying conditonal formatting to your cells:
1. Select 1st cell you wish to apply conditional formatting to ie A2(Not the cell with # days)
2.Select [Format][Conditional Formatting...] from the menu bar.
3. Under Condition1 change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Value Is"
4. In formula bar enter ie $A10>8 (the cell with #days on same row). Note the $ on column fix only.
5. Click on format and select Yellow and Bold
6. Use format painter to apply conditional formatting to your remaining cells
Voila
Hope this helps....
