RE: EXCEL SHEETS

Hi Darren,

Thank you for the forum question.

Select the date and go to conditional formatting and click New Rule. Select the last option Use Formula to Determine Which cell to Format. In my Example A1 is the first date. You will have to change the cell reference in the formulas below to the cell reference with your first date.

Type:

=Isnumber(a1) and click format and select a green colour.

Create a new rule again as a formula with still all the dates selected

Type:

=a1<=edate(today(),-21) format Amber

Create a new rule again as a formula with still all the dates selected

Type:

=a1<=edate(today(),-24) format Red

I hope this make sense

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Closing all your workbooks Quickly

Hold the SHIFT key down and using the mouse click on the file menu, it will now now CLOSE ALL rather than close. This closes all workbooks down but still leaves the application open.
