    =now function problem.

    I want to put the numbers 1 - 31 from cell B2 to B32. Then I was told I can put =now formula in A1 that will highlight which day of the month it is.

    Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this?

    Thanks

    Re: =now function problem.

    With the numbers 1 to 31 in cells B2:B32, highlight those cells then click on Conditional Formatting | New Rule then choose Use a Formula from the bottom of the list and put this formula in the dialogue box:

    =B2=DAY(TODAY())

    Then click the Format button | Fill tab and choose your colour. Then OK your way out.

    No need to put =NOW() in A1.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
