At at a loss as to why the following result in the Conditional Format Formula will work:

=IF($C3 <> "5 CJS",DATEVALUE("06/19/22") >=$BT3,)

The VBA code that is creating this formula is:
VBA Code:
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=IF($C3 <> ""5 CJS"",datevalue(" & Chr(34) & CurrDate - 30 & Chr(34) & ") >=$BT3,)"

Then...

Yet, when I substitute in the table header references nothing happens, see below:

=IF(INDIRECT("G2JobList[[Job

Status]]" <> "5 CJS"),DATEVALUE("06/19/22") >=INDIRECT("G2JobList[[Job Status

Last Update]]"),)


The VBA code that is creating this formula is:
VBA Code:
FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:="=IF(INDIRECT(""G2JobList[[Job" & Chr(10) & "Status]]"" <> ""5 CJS""),datevalue(" & Chr(34) & CurrDate - 30 & Chr(34) & ") >=INDIRECT(""G2JobList[[Job Status" & Chr(10) & "Last Update]]""),)"


I just want to make the VBA code work with the substitutions. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, SS
 
I'm only using it because too many people have their hands in this file I have and are always jacking up the formatting. Got tired of cleaning it up manually.
