Highlight expiry date

Can anyone please tell me how to highlight a cell red when a date is within 6
months of expiry. (Excel 2003)

To highlight cell A1 with expiry date in it, use Conditional Formatting with
FORMULA IS and use the formula
=(A1-Today())<180
and choose the format you want

You can paint this format over other cells you want to highlight

Thanks for replying Sheeloo - I have tried this and it didn't work. Is it
meant to be ())?

Sheeloo my apologies - my date wasn't formatted as "date" - once I did this
your suggestion worked - thank you very much.
