Count date

[Guest]

Hi, I would like to use the conditional formatting. I can use it for numeric,
but how to count date for 2 column ?

If I want column B can not be 7 days more than column A. If not, Column B
will show a different colour. How can it be done ?

6 12/14/2007 12/20/2007
7 12/15/2007 12/20/2007

Suppose 2 b & 5 b will show a different colour. Many thanks

because excel stores data as integer you can subtract them:
formula is =B1-A1>7
and then you set the background to red or whatever you want.
Then you can copy this format down.

Oops...sorry for the blank email

Try something like this:

cell value is: greater then =$A1+7

or you can use: Formula is: =$B1>$A1+7

B2 conditional format:

Cell Value Is greater than or equal to =$A2+7

Select A2:B8

CF>Formula is: =$B2>$A2+6

Note the $ sign to lock the column but not the row.

Format to a color and OK your way out.

For me it colors B1, B2 and B6

Your row numbers appear to out by one in your example.

If you mean column B cannot be more than 7 days greater than column A, change
the >$A2+6 to >=$A2 which will then also color B7
