Hi
i have already used the simple conditional formatting you have shown, but thanks for that.
The significance of the "green" cell E9, is when the staff member (in this case JONES) submits their paperwork it is hyperlinked and the cell goes green.
So, cell B9 will go "red" if paperwork is outstanding after 3 days. However, when they submit paperwork, it is hyperlinked and their name will go green (i have formatting for this already). This is when i need the date cell (B9) to go back to no fill.
I hope this makes sense
Thanks

there might be some residues of previous tests of yours that is hampering the procedure.
if not, I would suggest you post this query under a different title and start afresh.
sorry for wasting your time.
good luck..
