Hi,
I have a Year-at-a-Glance worksheet into which users enter important dates
and associated actions to be taken. I now want to use Conditional
Formatting to highlight specific entries in the worksheet when their date
matches today's date.
The problem I have is that I need to convert data from three independent
cells into a date to compare it with 'TODAY()'.
The first cell (formatted as a number) carries the day, e.g. 2, 17, 23,
etc.
The second cell (formatted as General) carries the month, e.g. January,
March, September, etc.
The third cell (formatted as a number) carries the year, e.g. 2010, 2011,
2012, etc.
Is it possible to concatenate the data from the three cells and covert the
result to a valid date number to compare with 'TODAY()'?
If necessary, the second cell could carry the month as a number, e.g. 03,
rather than as text, e.g. March.
Thanks,
