    Shade a cell a certain color based on 1 date every year

    I have a column with dates of July 1 of every year. How can I use conditional formatting to shade a cell a certain color based on July 1 of every year? The cell for July 2013 should be shaded, when 2014 comes, it is no longer shaded, then 2014 becomes shaded, & so on...

    Thanx..

    Did you tried in Conditional Formatting rules this formula?

    =YEAR($A1)=YEAR(TODAY())

    How can you use Conditional Formating.

    --In Excel 2007 and 2010, Conditional Formatting is in the Styles group on the Home tab. In Excel 2003, Conditional Formatting is on the Format menu. See here how you can work using CF.
