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:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help


3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
