Select this range. H2 should be the active cell in the selection.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, select Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to detemine which cells to format'.

Activate the Fill tab.
Select a highlight color.
Click OK, then click OK again.

Hi all,
I have created a digi clock on an excel sheet and am trying to work out the conditioning formatting to change the cell colour if the time passes. e.g if the departure time is 12:00 then the cell D15 changes red at 12:01 (my digi clock is set up HH:MM:SS)
