    Exclamation Fleet Registration Record

    help!
    So I work in transport and machinery and all the items have diferent registration and COI dates. what i need is to be able to open the spreadsheet and have it automatically highlight red the items that are expired, highlight orange for those about to expire and green for those that are currently registered. I have attached a sample of what I need with some more detail. If anyone could have a look and give me a hand that would be fantastic.
    Thanks,
    Sarah

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    You can do this using Conditional Formatting, but you will need to define what time frame you want to apply to "about to expire" and "currently registered"

    1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to (E3:E5)
    2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
    3. select new rule, select use formula
    4. enter =E3<=$B$1

    You would then repeat 3 & 4 with something like...
    =E3<=$B$1+16
    where 16 is the days before today that you want to flag - change as needed.
    Make sure that the "red" rule is the 1st rule, move it up if needed
    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

    Re: Fleet Registration Record

    So I cant just say all dates that fall in this month that have not yet passed are orange? all those that have are red? can i do it as a general format first by month and then by expiry day rather than just having to individually cf each date?

    My reason for asking what sort of time frame you wanted on this, was so that I can put something together that will cater for what you want. If you want to base it on "all dates that fall in this month that have not yet passed", at the start of the month, you could have dates colored orange that are 25 days away, but then, towards the end of the month, you would have dates colored orange that might be only 5 days away?
