I need to a cell (D3) on work sheet "Year Summary" to be colored red only if any of the following cells (C3:P4) contain anything (letters or numbers) in Worksheet "Jan 1-3".

I tried conditional formatting but pretty sure not using the right formula because its not working properly.

Please help thanks.

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Welcome to the Forum!

Try conditional formatting with the formula:

=COUNTA('Jan 1-3'!$C$3:$P$4)>0

or even more simply

=COUNTA('Jan 1-3'!$C$3:$P$4)
