MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / November 2005increase conditional formating options
How do I increase the No. of formats in conditional formating from 3 to 6 Hi! Take a look at these: http://mcgimpsey.com/excel/conditional6.html http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.CFPlus.Download.html Biff > How do I increase the No. of formats in conditional formating from 3 to 6 This doesn't seem to help me using dates only numbers. How do i apply this to a variety of old dates ? EG over 30 days old over 60 days old etc from today? > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > How do I increase the No. of formats in conditional formating from 3 to 6 Hi! Dates *ARE* numbers! (unless you specifically enter a date TEXT string) They're just numbers formatted to look like dates. The technique from that first link won't work for your situtation. That add-in from the second link should work (although I've never tried it. The authors are highly regarded and reputable.) Other than those 2 choices your only remaining option is VBA code. I can't help with that. Biff > This doesn't seem to help me using dates only numbers.

Do I have to reformat the cell every day?? I do not understand how to get the info from your second link either. Sorry for sounding like a dill. > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > >> > How do I increase the No. of formats in conditional formating from 3 > >> > to 6 Hi! > What number do I use for Today as it must change everyday? You would use the TODAY() function. >Do I have to reformat the cell every day?? No, The TODAY() function is a volatile function meaning that it updates every time the file calculates. You should post this in the programming forum and include all the conditions in your post. The more info you provide the easier it will be for someone to come up with a good solution. Biff > Biff > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] >> >> > 3 >> >> > to 6 Biff, I have tried using TODAY() but it doesn't seem to accept it. However if I enter a number it works fine? > Hi! > [quoted text clipped - 55 lines] > >> >> > 3 > >> >> > to 6 Hi! See your post in programming. Biff > Biff, > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] >> >> >> > 3 >> >> >> > to 6 It cant be done other than using VB code. Search 'Excel Programming on Google, there are loads of posts on this subject in there, Regards, Alan. > How do I increase the No. of formats in conditional formating from 3 to 6 |
