Hi guys,

I've a small problem with excel, and your help would be appreciated with all my (1) thanks! :rolleyes:

I have a number of items that need to be renewed every 2 years from their test date on an excel sheet (all dates are different). I need to place a counter beside each entry to show how many days are left until they are due.

Preferably, if they are overdue they should highlight on the counter in red and if they are not due they should be in green. Any help?:(

TODAY() will get today's date. To get number of days between two dates simply subtract one from the other. Use conditional formatting to highlight them appropriately.
