    You are only dealing with 10 dates. Why not manually change the Text Color ? No need for a conditional formatting.

    Or am I missing something ?

    use the match function to test whether the test cell's date is found in the table list.

    With a list of dates to test for in T1:Tyour-cell,10, and the cell that you need to have CF applied to...
    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    4. enter =MATCH(Your-cell,$T$1:$T$10,0)...format fill your color
    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
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
