I need to know if new entries are made within the last 7 days. I do not need the date posted to my viewing just a highlight in my choosing of color. I only want the conditional format to last 7 days then it can go away to normal format. Is this possible or is there an alternative function available to solve same problem??
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Set your conditional formatting formula to be =A1>=today()-7 assuming A1 contains the date.

Nothing has the date actually on it. We have no need to know when the changes are made in the long run. I do need to know when recent changes are made so I can review them.

Well if you don't record the date the change is made you can't know if it is in the last 7 days.
