Hi guys,

I'm trying to work out a way for an entire row to automatically highlight if a cell containing a date is longer than 3 months ago.

Here is part of my table:

I'd like the whole of cell A9 to N9 to highlight in yellow for instance if the Contract start date is longer than 3 months ago.

I tried this by highlighting A9 to N9, creating a conditional format for a formula: "= G9 < TODAY () - 90"<today()-90"<today()-90 with="" a="" fill="" option,="" now="" for="" some="" reason="" all="" of="" those="" cells="" highlighted="" yellow="" apart="" from="" cell="" b9?="" which="" was="" strange="" anyway,="" but="" then="" when="" i="" changed="" the="" date="" in="" g9="" to="" within="" last="" 3="" months="" it="" only="" unhighlighted="" a9.="" so="" even="" though="" 90="" days="" (which="" would="" mean="" want="" nothing="" that="" row)="" a9="" and="" b9="" were="" not="" rest="" stayed="" yellow.
<today()-90


I guess I am doing something wrong...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andy</today()-90

I don't think the picture is showing up right.

Maybe this will work.

You need to use an ABSOLUTE reference on the column part of the formula, or else it will "float" as you move across cells A9:N9.
So your formula need to look like:
"= $G9 < TODAY () - 90"<today()-90"<today()-90 with="" a="" fill="" option,="" now="" for="" some="" reason="" all="" of="" those="" cells="" highlighted="" yellow="" apart="" from="" cell="" b9?="" which="" was="" strange="" anyway,="" but="" then="" when="" i="" changed="" the="" date="" in="" g9="" to="" within="" last="" 3="" months="" it="" unhighlighted="" a9.="" so="" even="" though="" 90="" days="" (which="" would="" mean="" want="" nothing="" that="" row)="" a9="" and="" b9="" were="" not="" rest="" stayed="" yellow.
