Excel - IF

Hello,

I'm trying to create a formula to achieve following outcome:

There are different tasks with different due dates. For tasks which are smaller than TODAY, I would like to have a GREEN Traffic light. For tasks which are 7 days smaller than TODAY, I would like to have a yellow traffic light. If TODAY is bigger than the due date, I would like to have the red traffic light.

The dates are in different columns and currently in this format: 31/05/2014

Thanks for your suggestion.

Christine

RE: Excel - IF

Hi Christine,

Thank you for the forum question.

You need to select the dates and click conditional formatting in the "Styles" group on the "Home" tab.

click new rule and have a look at the attached Excel file. On sheet 1 you will see my example. You will also find a picture with the conditional formatting settings.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Quickly hide and unhide rows and columns

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+9 to hide selected rows and Ctrl+0 to hide selected columns. The good thing about this shortcut is that you do not need to select entire rows or columns. For example, select B3:D3 then press Ctrl+0 to hide columns B to D.

Ctrl+Shift+9 unhides rows and Ctrl+Shift+0 unhides columns.
