Conditional formatting

Hello, 

How can I write the formula to show that if the date in column A goes past todays date, hightlight the cell in red?

 

Is that possible?

Mike Wilday

Yes, if you choose the formatting option in the toolbar you will be able to color the row or the cell based on the date column you choose being in the past. See screenshots below.

Is the "in the past" criteria for conditional formatting still available? It doesn't appear in my Smartsheet as an option.

Hi @LGraf

Can you double check that the column you've selected is formatted as a Date type of column?

LGraf

Wow, you are totally right. How embarrassing! Thanks very much.

Not to worry! I've done that before, too 🙂
