I hope I explain this correctly Column M = Has this formula =IF(I2="","",I2-C$5) it calculates the difference in days from a random date + it also has conditional formatting. Column I = The Random date Column F = Conditional formatting if M<8 its red and if M is between 30 and 8 and its yellow(same for column M) I would like to have a button that will add a blank row below the row I’m working in and input the formula and conditional formatting accordingly. I have tried to record a macro and searched for advise but have had no luck. I hope you can help.

hi, i want to change the background of cells in the same column with dates in and I am having trouble with conditional formatting for blank cells. I want cells equal to or less than to turn red, so expired dates. i want cells 1-3 days in the future to turn yellow. i want blank cells to remain uncoloured. I have tried conditional formatting with these codes. =NOW() =NOW()+1 and =NOW()+3 Blanks, no colour I find that it doesn't change automatically, and that all the blank cells either go red or yellow. its really frustrating me now, can anyone help please :)

I have a formula in a cell & I have done conditional formatting to that cell. There is no data in the particular cell, as per the conditional formatting I have set if there is no data in a cell it should show blank but it is showing as "0" with a different color.
