Conditional Formatting Based on Date & Status
Hello!
I need some help getting my conditional formatting to function properly. I would like the cells in the "Due Date" column to highlight red if the date is less than today AND the "Status" column does not read "Done". Problem is, I can't even get the conditional formatting to work correctly on just the date portion of things, much less the status qualifier. I've tried both '=$D2<NOW()' as well as '=$D2<TODAY()' and the results are nonsensical. Thanks in advance for the help!
Select from D2 down. D2 should be the active cell in the selection.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.
Enter the formula=AND($F2<>"Done", $D2<>"", $D2<TODAY())
Click Format...
Activate the Fill tab.
Select red as fill color.
Click OK, then click OK again.
