hi  
Experts

This is 2 part question

1>>>
I have a problem in xl, can't figure out. I am using  column  C named  as
DUE DATE

What I am after is
"if difference between today and due date is less than 10 days then the cell
colour should change automatically to red!!!!!

I have used this
> highlighted column C
> format > Conditional  Formatting
>formula is =(C4-today())<=10
format "red colour" (I have  selected manually)

can't understand what's going wrong there.

Another problem is When I have done that first time, then the whole column  
C was getting "RED". If I enter due date which is consider 15-july-2005, then
the cell colour was changing to white( coz it wasn't satisfying condition.)
If I enter due date which is after evaluating above condition is less than 10
days, cell didn't change the colour.

Which Is what after i am,  but the background colour of ALL cell should
remain white and only those satisfying condition should change to RED.

2>>>> In above part one if due date of the particular job is more than 10
days then cell color should not be RED,
and as soon as it becomes  equal to or less than 10, the cell colour should
change automatically to RED.

I don't want anybody to physically alter that, just clicking a button does
everything

ANY NICE SUGGESTION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Thnx

I did something much like this recently.   I assume you are formatting column
C.

I have three conditions in mine

Cell value is less than today() - formats to GREEN
Cell value is between today() and today()+14 - formats to YELLOW
Cell value is greater than today()+14 - Formats to RED.

Try something like that.
