Conditional Formatting

It should work okay. What is the formula, and do you have manual calculation
set?

Hi Bob,

The formula is:
=AND(F3>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,DAY(TODAY())))=AND(F3>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,DAY(TODAY())))

If I change the cell to a different retest date that is say 6 months from
today, the cell remains red in color. Should it not change to the default
black?

Thanks very much for your help.

Regards,

Dee

Dee,

As far as I can see, you are comparing two identical formula, so it will
always resolve to true, so always be red. Just strip it back to one test

=AND(F3>=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-2,DAY(TODAY())),F3<=DATE(YEAR(TOD
AY()),MONTH(TODAY())+2,DAY(TODAY())))
