    A Rule Making one column's highlighting be removed if another cell has text

    Hey Guys I have a bit of a dummy question. I have created a rule for a column that states that if a date in one particular cell is less than todays date the cell will become red. I want to add to this making it so this cell's highlighting is removed if another particular cell contains any date, but I don't know how. Any advice? Hope this makes sense.

    Hi,

    Please clarify.

    Your header says the criteria should check a cell for TEXT, your details says the check should be for a DATE.

    Sorry about that, my bad. I have attached (hopefully) a screen shot. I essentially want the red highlighting in Column H to disappear is there is a date in column G.

    Pics often dont come through here, so its better to upload a sample workbook.

    You probably need to use AND() for this...

    =AND(A1<TODAY(),B1<>"")
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
