I'm trying to stay on top of the invoices that I place in my spreadsheet so that whole rows are automatically highlighted once 14 days has passed if they haven't been entered into my accounting software.
I typically just change a columns text from "Un-entered" to "Entered"
Currently the formula that I came up with that highlights dates that are 14 days and older is
=($C2<TODAY()-14)*($C2>1) but my two issues are
1) How do I condition it so it highlights the whole row and not just that single column?
2) How do I make it so the only highlighted rows are the ones that are:
* Older than 14 days
&
* Don't have the word "Entered" in a separate column

@Lenescar_B Select the entire range to which the formatting should should be applied. Not just the one column.

First, delete the existing conditional formatting rule for column C.
Select all the rows that you want to format, not just column C.
Let's say that row 2 is the top row in the selection, and that the active cell in the selection is in row 2.
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($C2<TODAY()-14,$C2<>"",$K2<>"Entered")
Here, K is the column in which you type "Entered".
Click Format...
Specify the desired formatting, then OK your way out.
