Hello peeps,

I have a start date in A2, a due date in B2 and a completion date in C2. The due date automatically updates when a completion date is entered in C2 (as this is a recurring annual review).

I would like the row to turn red if there is a due date that has passed and C2 is either blank and today's date is greater than due date or there is a date last completed (date in C2) and today's date is greater than (new) due date.

I started trying to do a formula for conditional formatting on just the dates in A2 to C2, but couldn't work it out. I then thought that by adding a status column I could more easily apply conditional formatting but now I'm tying myself up in knots to get the correct status returning (example below)!

I hope this makes sense and I would be really grateful if anyone can help me out... Ta very muchly! :)

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Just noticed some rookie mistakes in D2 formula (missing Pending quotation and an incorrect TODAY function (zero instead of bracket))! So I corrected, but still didn't work. I've tried changing slightly, but still not working:

is this just if the DUE Date in column B is earlier than today()
=$B2<today()
to stop blanks highlighting as that seen as a date 0/1/1900
then
=AND( $B2<>"", $B2<today() )
