------- Additional comments from smd...@openoffice.org Sat Sep 25 21:12:22 +0000 2010 ------- I would like to have all dates in a particular column have different colors depending on a criteria specified in a conditional format code. However, the worksheet is intended on being copied/pasted into a new sheet biweekly, and to reduce rework I would like the conditional format code to be able to draw information from other cells in the worksheet rather than being hardcoded. For example, in a particular worksheet I want all dates on or before Sep 30/2010 to have green color, and any date later than Sep 30/2010 to have red color. Column A Column B Row 1 Date Numeric equivalent Row 2 Sep 30, 2010 40451 Row 3 Aug 31/2010 Conditional format code used with current software by selecting cell A3, Format->Cells->Format code: [<=40451][GREEN]MMM D, YYYY;[>40451][RED]MMM D, YYYY What I would like to be able to specify is the following: [<=B2][GREEN]MMM D, YYYY;[>B2][RED]MMM D, YYYY;General Then, whenever the value of B2 changes the highlighting would change for all formats that reference this cell. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
