Hi Bob and Hellen!
to test what I was doing, i created this data in a clean worksheet:
b1 2/2/2007
b2 2
b3 1/5/2005
b4 1/5/2007 1/2/2007 3
in formula view:
b1 =TODAY()+31
b2 2
b3 38357
b4/c4/d4 =DATE(YEAR(B3)+B$2,MONTH(B3),DAY(B3)) =TODAY() =B4-C4
I then added three conditional formats to B4:
Conditional Formats for "b4"
Cell is Yellow (Due within 31 days)
Formula is =AND(B4<=TODAY()+31,B4>=TODAY()+15)
Cell is Orange (Due within 15 days)
Formula is =AND(B4<=TODAY()+15,B4>=TODAY())
Cell is Red (overdue)
Cell Value Is less than =TODAY()
This seems to work, and it gives you a 15 day warning and a 31 day warning,
as well as an overdue warning.
Is that what you were looking for?
Please let us know if any of this has helped.
Thanks
Doug

Bob, that didn't seem to work, though i tried applying it to the
whole
sheet
this is my layout:
Duration [a2] 2
[b2]
Helen [a3] 01/28/06
[b3]
Date Due [a4] =DATE(YEAR(B3)+B$2,MONTH(B3),DAY(B3)) [b4]
There are multiple names and dates.
maybe there is a shorter/easier formula to use too ?
Thanks
=DATE(YEAR(B3)+B$2,MONTH(B3),DAY(B3))
Try a formula of
=AND(A2>=TODAY()-31,A2<=TODAY())
where A2 is the cell in question
