The code is fine except the Operator value should be xlEqual and NOT x1Equal, in other words you used a one where there should be an ell. It took me a while to spot that!!

I have tried the Today() alone and it does pick up any of the days thats why I added the “DAY” to the statement. I am currently trying this macro, but am getting an error reading. Do you have any idea were I am going wrong with my syntax?

Sub CurrentDate()
With Range("C5:AG5")

    .FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlCellValue, Operator:=x1Equal, Formula1:="=TODAY()"
    .FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 1
End With
        
End Sub

VB & and Excel don’t like the “Formula1:=” part of the statement
