Now if you did want to have a column that gives you days you can write a formula in it to tell you the number of days past due, or days till the due date and you can conditional it several different ways.

I attached an updated data range file that shows the different ways you can use conditional formatting.

Just check it out and it won't be long until you will be coming up with different ways to use conditional formatting.

I intentionally referred to different elements to show examples how you can use cell values and formulas, though there are many different ways (some easier) to come up with the same results.

Hope this helps.

Depends what version of Excel you are using, but basically the important function you need is;

=NOW()

This gives you today's date in a cell. So if you have your expiry date in cell A1, the formula

=NOW()-A1

Will tell you how many days are left until expiry.

If you add a column that has this in it for all your products, you can use the conditional formatting with two possible conditions;

<=0 (less than or equal to zero) format in RED
<=15 (less than or equal to 15) format in YELLOW

you might have to play around with what order you set the formats in, but that's the fun part!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Excel-Automatically-highlight-expire-dates-that-are-15-day-27845308 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 05:07:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Excel-Automatically-highlight-expire-dates-that-are-15-day-27828424

For example, I have dates that Products will expire in a spreadsheet. I would like Excel to highlight the ones that are 15 days from expiration in yellow and the ones that are past the expiration in red. Is that possible? Even December 2012, even January 2013...please]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Excel-Automatically-highlight-expire-dates-that-are-15-days-fo-27803974 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:39:57 EDT
