I think it might be helpful if you could attach a file...
I SOUNDS like you're saying that in rows 41-68
there are records of some sort.
The DATE for each record is in column G.
your first sheet ("1") the date range is November 4, 2011 through
December 1, 2011
sheet "2" has dates from December 12 through December 28, 2011.
in Cell F41, all sheets have "today's" date (currently November 4,
2011)
You wish to change the tab color for any sheet that has a date in
column G, rows 41-68
that matches the date in cell F41.
Now, does F41 have a formula that always shows "today's" date?
Or does it need to be updated periodically.
The only reason that is significant is that I COULD compare the dates
in G41-68 to TODAY's ACTUAL DATE
and disregard the value of F41 completely.
Secondly, are the values in G41-68 ACTUAL EXCEL dates? or text
strings?
In other words, if you change the format of the cell to show the date
as 04-Nov-2011
??
If so, it's a date. If not, then it's just a string of characters.
The problem is that if F41 is an Excel date, the the VALUE of the cell
today is: 40851
(the number of days since 1/1/1900) and DISPLAYED as a date.
So.. the values in column G MAY need to be programatically converted
to a date to properly compare.
as I said, it may be helpful to include a sample file.
