Conditional Formatting

I am having trouble with a formula I would like to apply to a date column. I'd like a row to highlight or fill red if the date is past due (Today's Date) AND the cell next to it is "Blank". I would like to have at least the date column fill  red when the date is past due =J3<TODAY()  AND K4 is Blank.   Thanks!

 

  • Select the date cells in column J that you want the rule to apply to (e.g., J3:J100)

    =AND(J3<TODAY(), ISBLANK(K3))

     

    If column K can contain formulas that return an empty string (""), and you'd still consider that "blank", replace ISBLANK(K3) with:

    =AND(J3<TODAY(), K3="")

     

    Hope I was able to help you with this information.
