Conditional Formatting is not acting right

Need some help here, because I don’t know how to do what I want to do.

As always, thanks to everybody that helps out.

I"m using LO 25.2.1.2. I’m trying to set up conditional formatting.

I have an array 4col X 72 rows (A25:D96). Columns A-C are dates. I want to set up conditional formatting such that the entire row (all 4 columns are highlighted) if the value (date) in column B is the latest date less than today.

I have already tried setting up CF as follows: Format/Conditional/Manage/Add, and used the following: Condition 1: Formula is =$B25=TODAY(). But it doesn’t work. First thing that I noticed was that the FIRST equal sign is missing after I click OK. So, I’m wondering - why doesn’t it work?

So the formula should be $B52<TODAY() $B25<TODAY() and the Range should be A25:D96

Have you set a style?

Did you mean $B52 or $B25?

e.g.:
$B25=MAXIFS($B$25:$B$96,$B$25:$B$96,"<"&TODAY())

Worked Great! Thank you!

Why the last day before today? Are you using dates after today? If not, then ‘=MAX(B:B)’ will suffice.
