A slight addition in the above formula
=AND(F1"",OR(F1=TODAY(),F1TODAY()))
Place the cursor in A1 cell and apply the conditional formatting formula,
Active cell should be F1. (Active cell will have a white Background after
selection also)

Hi,

Mistakenly I removed the previous post... That I pasted some parts
below.

Actually Jacob helped me on highlighting the renewal date with 10 days
window with a conditional formula and I incorporated that to highlight
the crossed out dates by conditioning the cell with
"=OR(F1=TODAY(),F1TODAY())" with Patterning YELLOW.

As I formatted the entire column the cells that was blank also turn
Yellow.

Any help....

I have some vehicle data that we update time to time.
The below is an eg from the data
Coolum no Heading Data
C Vehicle License Plate Number TN 07 S 0003
D Vehicle Type Sumo
E Vehicle Year 2008
F Insurance renewal date 31-03-2010
In that we have a renewal date in one column I wanna assign some
automated indication(i.e.with some formulas in condition formatting)
to alert us priory on renewal date...

Jacob-----------1. Select the cell/Range (column F). Please note that the cell reference F1
mentioned in the formula is the active cell in the selection. Active
cell
will have a white background even after selection
2. From menu FormatConditional Formatting
3. For Condition1Select 'Formula Is' and enter the below formula
=AND(F1=TODAY(),F1TODAY()+10)
4. Click Format ButtonPattern and select your color (say Red)
5. Hit OK
