Dank and dismal here today, and cold - eventually I gave in and hit the +1hr button on the heating. Nothing - the thermostat disagrees with my assessment of the situation. Bloody machines!

If you're wearing a jumper and you've done some strenuous housework and you've had a hot meal and hot drink and you're still cold, turn the thermostat up and try again.

Can you sort out my conditional formatting? I'm trying for "If the date in this cell is more than a month ago AND if the next cell is not "Y" AND if the next but one cell is blank, colour this cell red". I can manage to make it go green for reviews done and purple for reviews to do this month, but not red for reviews missed!

I'll have a look when I get back from the shops... but there might be too many conditions in the list for Excel, I think the limit is quite low.

Haha. No, but I know a man who can...

I don't think you can do it with conditional formatting
I suggest your best bet is an extra FLAG!!! column with a nice formula in it that gives you simple values you can use for the conditional formatting to work on.
So if the flag column was A, the review due date in B, has it been done in C, scheduled for in D, you have something in A like:
=IF($C2="Y", "DONE", IF($D2<>"", "SCHEDULED", IF($A2<(TODAY()-31), "OVERDUE", "TO DO"))))

Then you can conditional format from that.
I used row 2 as I guess you'll have headers in row1...

I sorted it, ta. Used =IF(AND(I19<>"",I19<$E$1, J19<>" ", K19=""), TRUE)

it just took a bit of tweaking, especially to ignore the blank rows.

Down the valley I'm under a fleecy blanket and have a hot water bottle and I'm still cold.

May I light a fire?

Yes, you've been poorly. And regardless of being poorly if you've got a fleecy blanket and a HWB and you're still cold you need the heating on!

Go out for a half hour walk. When you get back in, it'll feel much warmer, 'cos your own thermostat will have reset itself.
