Highlight birthdays

Using conditional formatting how would I highlight birthdays coming up
within the next 14 days.
I can't use < today()+14 since birth year is in the past. I don't mind
using VBA if this helps

Hi

There may be a simpler formula, but the following seems to work
=AND(MONTH(A1)=MONTH(TODAY())+(DAY(A1)-DAY(TODAY())<0),DAY(A1)-DAY(TODAY())<=14)

Hi

With birth date in cell A2
=AND(DATE(YEAR(TODAY(),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))-TODAY()<15,DATE(YEAR(TODAY(),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))>=TODAY())

You also can try
=AND(DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"MD")<15,DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2)>=0,"MD")

Hi Arvi

Most unlike you.
One or two typo's (must be the remainder of the Christmas "spirits"
still in the system<vbg>)

Missing brackets after the Year(Today()) function
=AND(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))-TODAY()<15,DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2))>=TODAY())

Also, Datedif error, should be
=AND(DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"MD")<15,DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"MD")>=0)
Datedif won't work in this scenario however, as the days part is giving
the number of days over and above elapsed months for the period, not the
days remaining.

Best wishes for the New Year

Another example

=AND(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1))>=TODAY(),DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH
(A1),DAY(A1))-TODAY()<=14)

Roger, yours seems to highlight 1st and 2nd Feb. Haven't looked at why.

Hi Bob

You're quite right.
My formula is absolute rubbish, as it would also give incorrect results
to any other days in the next month which are less than
Today's DAY().

Yours is the far nicer (and correct) solution.
Happy New Year to you.

Hi Bob

Apologies for that last response, I have made some changes to OE6 and it
is putting some of my responses in weird positions relative to the
original post

It should have appeareed as

You're quite right.

:-))

Thanks for correction! (I simply didn't have enough time to read what i did
write - too much work)

The formula with DATEDIF must be
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"MD")),FALSE,(DATEDIF(TODAY(),A2,"MD")<15))
(the old one checked for past birthdays, not for coming ones, and missed
error checking)

Many thanks, Roger, it works a treat.
I'm new to VBA so thought I would try it.
The code below however fails, can u tell me why ?

ActiveCell.Formula =
"=IF((C2)="""",""1"",IF(AND(A2)=""outdate"",(E2)<>""01/01/01"",(E2)<NOW()+14),""2"",IF(AND((a2)=""Birthday"",MONTH(e2)=MONTH(TODAY())+(DAY(e2)-DAY(TODAY())<0),DAY(e2)-DAY(TODAY())<=14),""YES"",""NO""))"

Maybe

Dim sFormula As String

sFormula =
"=IF(C2="""",""1"",IF(AND(A2=""outdate"",E2<>""01/01/01"",E2<NOW()+14)," & _

"""2"",IF(AND(A2=""Birthday"",MONTH(E2)=MONTH(TODAY())+(DAY(E2)-DAY(TODAY())
<0),DAY(e2)-DAY(TODAY())<=14)," & _
"""YES"",""NO"")))"
ActiveCell.Formula = sFormula
