Hi Jeff,

Not sure how you want the end result to look like, but the following formula will count the number of times your table of dates, contains dates higher then a given data:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A1,">="&$E$1)
Where A1:A6 is the table of dates and E1 is the specified date (or replace it with an actual date instead of cell reference). In this example place the formula in B1 and drag it down.

To color the cell, use conditional formatting. When you want to color the cell red when the above formula is placed in column B and gives a result of 5, then:
- Select column B.
- Go to conditional formatting, found under the Start ribbon and select add rule.
- Choose to use a formula: =$B1=5, choose your Format.
- Hit OK when done.

Best regards,
Trowa
