this is a call for help to someone who can work excel,

the situation is;
Ive pieced together a highlight for my job that automatically changes to highlight the correct date at midnight, the problem is that I need it to change the highlight at 7am instead of midnight to ciencide with the sceduled shifts.
the conditional formatt that im using is =$a1=today

help would be very, very apreciated :waughh:

824805 2009-10-28 02:14:00 What data is in the column you're basing the conditional formatting off, a full time stamp or? inphinity (7274)
824806 2009-10-28 02:21:00 As of now there are only dates down column A, every cell has a diffrent date.No time data yet. Im trying to figure out how to do it without having the time data visible, or having to take up any extra cells if possible. 041140 (15382)
824807 2009-10-28 03:24:00 you could try using IF(HOUR(NOW())>6) as a check to see if it is currently 7am or later, in addition to your existing date check or whatever. inphinity (7274)
824808 2009-10-28 03:58:00 thanx for the help
I tried using that but nothing happens. When I combine it with the code it gives me an error message, I tried using it by itself to see if I was doing something wrong, but nothing happens

824809 2009-10-28 04:00:00 also I realized I typed the code incorrectly here its actually =$A1=TODAY() 041140 (15382)
824810 2009-10-28 11:16:00 =AND($A1=TODAY(),HOUR(NOW())>6) fred_fish (15241)
