Conditional Formatting Date

[Humpy]

Can you help!

I have set up an Excel spreadsheet as follows:


A B C D
E F
1 DATE NAME INVOICE AMOUNT TERM DUE
DATE

2
=SUM(A2+E2)

3

4

5


Is there a formula I can use so that cell F2 turns red once we've
passed the due date.

Try formula is =f1<a1.

Is there a formula I can use so that cell F2 turns red once we've

passed the due date.

Presume col F = due dates and we have in F2: =A2+E2,
F2 copied down to say, F10
(your : =SUM(A2+E2) can simplified to: =A2+E2)

To apply the cond format to the range F2:F10:

Select F2:F10 (F2 active)
Click Format > Conditional Formatting
Under Condition 1, make the settings as:
Formula is: =AND(F2<>"",F2<TODAY())
Click Format button > Patterns tab > Red > Font tab > bold/white >OK
Click OK at the main dialog

Correction, line:

Formula is: =AND(F2<>"",F2<TODAY())

should read:

Formula is: =AND(F2<>0,F2<TODAY())
