Is it possible to set an alarm in EXCEL?

[Chris FG]

Hello,

does anyone know if it is possible to set an alarm in Excel. I'
working with a lot of dates in Excel and I've got one column which i
called "DATE OF NEXT ACTION" and at that date I'll need to call
specific client.

I know that I can filter the data on that column. But is there a way t
set Excel so that something pops up on the screen?

Or any other possibility that Excel checks the dates in that column an
makes me aware if today's date is the same as the one in the column?
If not, is there another software that can do that?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Chri

Hi
tryou may use conditional format:
- select the column with your dates (lets say column A starting in A1)
- goto 'Format - Conditional Format'
- enter the following formual
=A1=TODAY()
- choose your format
