Hi there...
I have a training matrix... I want the format to change when the original training date exceeds 3 years relative to todays date.


Example:
A2 = Johnny Smith
B2 = 10/06/2012
C2 = 10/08/2015 (3yrs later + 2 days make me red!)

Column B is the starting dates for specific training topics
Column C is the forecasted renewal dates (original + 3years)

If data in C expires before current date (ie... todays date) the format...

Hope I am clear enough... its the issue with referencing today that has me messed up

thanks in advance

Kip

Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Okay here is what row 2 looks like:

[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Johnny Smith[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]10/6/2012[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]10/6/2015[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Cell C2 formula is:
Code:
=DATE(YEAR(B2)+3,MONTH(B2),DAY(B2))

Select cell C2, click Conditional Formatting
Click New Rule
Enter this in the formula box:
Code:
=NOW()>C2
Click Format
Click Fill
Select Red color
OK
Should work
Try it
