Default Mark date that has passed

Hi!

I wonder if someone can help me finding the right function.

I have a worksheet over dates. The left columns contains dates (my input)
and the right column contains a function A1+15, A2+15 and so on, dates 15
days forward. Now I want Excel to help me find the dates (in the right
column) that has passed. Is there a function for this? For example making the
date red or fat.

Thanks!

Hi,

Select B1 then

Format|Conditional format
Formula is
enter the formula
=AND($A1"",$B1TODAY())
Pick a colour
OK

Use the format painter to paint this conditional format down column B

Hi,

In column cell B1, enter the following formula in Format Conditional
Formatting Formula is

=TODAY()-$B10

Select the desired font.
