If 5 days since initial date, turn cell red
You may apply conditional formatting rule to the column "Submit" of the table with rule formula as =$J2>$G2+5.
If you provide sample file instead of screenshot it'll be easier to illustrate.
SergeiBaklan here is a sample file. I will try to apply your suggestion!
See the attached version.
Click in J2 and select Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules... to view the conditional formatting rule.
HansVogelaar This is the right idea but I'm needing each cell to be dependent on the cell date in the same row.
Example based off the demo: I need column J dates, to coincide with the cell in the same row for column H.
"LE Recv" date + 7 (or 5 business days) and anything beyond to turn the cell red that's in in the same row but in the "Submit" column J.
Do I need to manually go in to make each cell coincide with the cell in the same row? Or can I create a formula for the whole table?
If I understand you correctly:
If you want to format cells in column J, select J2:J20, or if you want to format the entire row in the table, select G2:K20.
I will assume that the acfive cell in the selection is in row 2.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, select Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Format only cells that contain.
Leave the first dropdown set to 'Cell Value'.
Select 'greater than or equal to' from the second dropdown.
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Select red.
Click OK, then click OK again.
See the attached, modified version.
Enter the formula =WORKDAY($H2,5) in the box next to it.
