Setting up an electrical register in Excel with expiry dates
I am currently setting up an electrical register using Excel 2003 which
shows a date column of when the equipment has to be retested. I would like to have the date columns in green, then two weeks before the expiry date, have them change to yellow. Once the date has expired, I would then like the column to change to red. Can you please explain if this can be done using formulas in Windows XP 2003. Thanks Scotty |

Setting up an electrical register in Excel with expiry dates
