Date related Conditional Formatting

C

Cameron Smith

I would like to set up conditional formatting on a column so all cells in
the column containing dates that are older than 30 days will be red.

The column is formatted so dates read like this 04/02/04

How can I do this?

I have tried [brackets stand for the sections of the conditional formatting
dialog box]

[Cell] [is less than] [TODAY`-30]

As you can see I need help :)

Not that far, but the formula should be written just like it would inside a
worksheet cell:

[Cell] [is less than] [=TODAY()-30]

Seems to work fine :)
