Hello,

I am trying to create a spreadsheet that is going to contain a lot of dates. What I'm trying to setup is say I have a future date such as 30 Aug 10 in cell E11. when the date in E11 is within 30 days of todays date, i want cell E11 to change color. know if I enter a new date in E11, say 30 Aug 11, the cell would go back to no color.

You are talking about conditional formatting

use conditional formatting

=AND(E11<> "", E11<today() + 30, E11>=Today())
and choose color

Formula says

IF E11 is not blank

AND

E11 is greater or equal to today

AND

E11 is less than 30 days from today
