=AJ18=TODAY()+3

I am using this for conditional formatting but want it to also apply to days beyond TODAY()+3.

Can anyone help with the correct expression? Thanks.

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

If you mean you want to format any date that's 3 days in the future or more then change = to >=, i.e.

=AJ18>=TODAY()+3

[sorry, this initial post was not very clear]

=AJ18=TODAY()+3

I am using this formula to highlight cells 'RED' that are 3 days before todays date. I want them to remain red from this time onwards.

Can anyone help with the correct expression? Thanks.

Your formula will format future dates but you mention "3 days before todays date". Can you give an example, today is 3rd March 2011, which dates would be formatted today?

Thanks, I got a bit confused. I've changed it to '<' and it does exactly what I want. Thanks.
