But I want to reference a cell outside the selected range and test it with a date. If dates match, then the selected range is formatted. How is the formula set to consider a formula on a cell outside the selected range? I take your provided conditional formatting your example.

I worked through the IF function, the IF, AND, and OR functions, and the CONDITIONAL formatting tutorials. It helped me immensely. Without your helpful tutorials, I probably couldn't have solved what turned out to be rather simple. May God Bless you for sharing!

I recently learned how to use the INDEX/MATCH commands as an alternate to "vlookup" when the information you want as output is not to the right in the array (if that makes sense). Anyway, a much more eloquent explanation can be found here: http://www.mrexcel.com/tip021.shtml (not my website). thanks ricemutt! This was great thanks.

For example: =Countif(array, "mondays") =Countif(array, "mon*") =4", "<4", etc. for the second input if you are dealing with numbers Note: Not case sensitive.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the target of a conditional statement. e.g. I want the color of cell A to change dependant upon the value of cell B. Instead of having Cell A be dependant on the value in Cell A. Again, great tutorial. thank you Hey Frank. this really helped My Girlfriend out with her weekly status tracking worksheet.

I've been thinking about writing some other ones, but it's just a matter of time. Steve, thanks for the tip. I thought it had to be sorted no matter what.
