I want to change the color of fonts or cells by matching the date from a different workbook. I have a projection of sales in one workbook and actual sales in a different workbook. Whenever we get the actual total sold product types for the month, I want to deduct those form the projection workbook. Thus, I want to differentiate the by coloring the fonts or changing the color of the cell. Would you please help me how I can do this in Excel?

Projected Sells by month

Hi Memar,
Warning: I am no expert. But I love trying to color things. I tried this and it works for me.

Code: 
Sub colorCodeGreenOrRed()
'
' colorCode
'


'


   If Range("A21") <= 1000 Then
   
   Range("A21").Interior.Color = -16776961
   
   Else
   
   If Range("A21") > 1000 Then
      
   Range("A21").Interior.Color = 5287936
   
   
    
    End If
    End If

end sub



You can run it by applying to a button or manually running it. Macro>Run.

thanks,
Nej

If "1/13/2019" is in B1, you could use Conditional Formatting on B2 with the formula
=(B$1 < MAX(Sheet2!$A:$A) )


Its not clear to me how coloring the cells will help "deduct them from the projection workbook".
