Calendar/Date reminders for certain events

I have a list of permits with expiration dates for 12 different types in an
Excel file. I need to have some way to set up something that can
automatically let me know if any of them have expired or are about to. I
know I can do it individually for each permit by using a formula, but I want
to see if there is something else someone may know of that may be easier.
The file also has company name and other items of detail.

Re: Calendar/Date reminders for certain events

Why not put them in Outlook?

Re: Calendar/Date reminders for certain events

Because numerous people need to have access to them and I'll need to run a
report. I know I can share my calendar with them, but I was looking for
something different. Any thoughts?

Outside of a formula, which you've already thought of, no.

Re: Calendar/Date reminders for certain events

Thanks. Outlook would be the easiest way, but we have so much turnover and
the expiration dates are 2-3 years out.
