乔纳森(Jonathan)开发了一个工作表,该工作表跟踪各种部门文档的截止日期。他想知道是否有一种方法可以让Excel以某种方式提醒他某个特定文档的到期日是否临近。

在Excel中可以通过多种方式完成此操作,您应该选择最适合自己目的的方法。第一种方法是简单地将一列添加到您的工作表中,以用于警报。

假设您的到期日在F列中,则可以在G列中放置以下类型的公式:

=IF(F3<(TODAY()+7),"

The formula checks to see if the date in cell F3 is earlier than a week from today. If so, then the formula displays "< Another approach is to use the conditional formatting capabilities of Excel. Follow these steps:



Select the cells that contain the document due dates.

Choose Conditional Formatting from the Format menu. Excel displays the Conditional Formatting dialog box.

Make sure the first drop-down list is "Cell Value Is." (This should be the default.) (See Figure 1.)   Figure 1. The Conditional Formatting dialog box.



Make sure the second drop-down list is "Less Than."

In the formula area, enter "=TODAY()" (without the quote marks).

Click the Format button. Excel displays the Format Cells dialog box. (See Figure 2.)   Figure 2. The Format Cells dialog box.



Using the Color drop-down list, choose the color red.

Click OK to close the Format Cells dialog box.

Click Add. The Conditional Format dialog box expands to include a second condition.

Make sure the first drop-down list for the second condition is "Cell Value Is." (This should be the default.)

Make sure the second drop-down list is "Less Than."

In the formula area, enter "=TODAY()+7" (without the quote marks).

Click the Format button. Excel displays the Format Cells dialog box.

Using the Color drop-down list, choose the color blue.

Click OK to close the Format Cells dialog box. (See Figure 3.)   Figure 3. The finished Conditional Formatting dialog box.



Click OK to close the Conditional Formatting dialog box.



This is a two-tiered format, and you end up with two levels of alert. If the due date is already past, then it shows up as red. If the due date is today or within the next seven days, then it shows up in blue.
