I have some text AND a date (seperated by a hyphen) in one excel cell e.g. "Anniversary - 12/12/2012"
I want to be able to read the date only and if it is greater than the current date - the cell should become highlighted.
Can this be done via excel functions or do I need to write some VBA?
MC
Mark the area with all values, and chose "Conditional Formatting". Select "More Rules" from "Highlight Cells Rules" and select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format". Put this formula in the rule description field:
=DATEVALUE(MID($A1,FIND(" - ",$A1)+3,10))>TODAY()
Don't forget to chose the formatting options with "Format..."

I would like to add an icon to cells based on rule if another cell contains a value.
Here are cells which I want to format. On the left side I want to add icon in the right side of the cell if the cell in the column Note of the same row contains a value. For Example, "Formale Systeme" cell should have that icon because there is a note "2" in that row.
Here is an example how it should look.
Cells on the left side are D7-D66 and cells on the right side are I7-I66

I want to color a specific cell if (for example):
A1 has a value (meaning it is not blank)
B1 has no value (meaning it is blank)
In this scenario I would like to color B1 red.
I want the formula to apply to the entirety of the B-column.
Try clicking Format > Conditional formatting > Custom formula is:
=AND($A1<>"";$B1="")
Apply this to range B:B and select a red colour format

I made a table in Excel and the inputs are going to be single letters. Is it possible to format the table so that, if a certain letter is inputted, the cell automatically changes to a specified colour???
Thanks, sorry if this isn't the right place to put this question.
Yes, you make use of conditional formatting.
Let's say your table is in A1:G5. Click on conditional formatting. Pick 'Highlight Cell Rules' and 'Equal To...'.
Insert the value you want to highlight and pick the highlight from the dropdown button.

I'm trying to copy over some data from a set of merged cells into a single cell format. I don't know how to do this.
I'm trying to copy this:
This is what I get when I paste it:
This is what I want to happen when I paste it:
Since my merged cells "are" single cells, I wish they would paste like single cells. I haven't found a solution anywhere. I know that you can Special Paste values, but that doesn't keep the formatting that I need.
If you paste your selection, you'll notice a small blue icon at the bottom left of the pasted range. Click on it and select the third icon "Formulas & Number Formats":
This should do the job!

In excel-2010 can we format time column into text along with AM/PM information for corresponding time?
For example, COLUMN A has "daily" as text and column B has "6.00 PM " as value. Can we append these A & B Columns and display as "daily 6.00 PM" in single cell?
Yes, try this formula:
=CONCATENATE(A1," ",TEXT(B1,"hh.mm AM/PM"))
The CONCATENATE function or '&' can be used to join values as text.
The TEXT function can be used to change values to text with a specific format.
