FORMULA TO ADD 8 WEEKS FROM A DATE WITH CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Evening - I would like to set a formula to add 8 weeks from a date in another cell - I would ideally like this to turn red if it exceeds 8 weeks. Looked online and cannot fathom it out anyone help?

Thank you I still must be doing something wrong. So My date reference is in A65 and set to 1st August 2022 - My cell where I want the formula to appear is at Q65 - I think I made the changes to do the above but for some reason its now blank. Sorry about this!

Unfortunately, without a file or a picture of the error, I can't help you further. Recommend inserting the file (without sensitive data). Or you can send me a private message (see my profile) to see where the problem might be.

Select the date range
Right click and select "Format Cells...".
In the Number menu, select Left Default or Number,
OK...thus the text would be converted to a number and the formula should work.
