    Highlight Overdue Due Date

    I have attached a sheet that I need a little bit of help with.

    In column A, I enter the start date and it calculates in column C, E, G specific due dates for certain tasks. When the date has passed, I want it to highlight the cell RED to show it is past due.

    In columns D, F, H, I have a drop down to mark once it is completed and when this is selected I want the cells in columns C, E, G to highlight GREEN to show it have been done.

    The conditional formatting for the second part to mark it Green I have figured out, I just can't seem to get the highlighting it RED when the due date has passed to work.

    1) Highlight C2
    2) Apply these CF settings:

    Condition 1: Formula Is =D2<>""
    Format... Pattern: Green

    Condition 2: Formula Is =C2<TODAY()
    Format... Pattern: Red

    3) Now copy that formatting using the format painter to E2 and G2
