[Solved] Highlight today cell

[arfa2]

I have a sheet set up for accommodation data, 1 sheet per month;
The sheet is split vertically in two - to fit across the screen. 1-15th top-half; 16-30th lower half.

I have cut this image down for easier load-view

A = location
B = start date for the month
until P = 1 to 15th of the month

A24 = location
B23 = 16th of the month - through until month end [P=30th, Q=31st]

Is it possible to have a cell that highlights 'today'?
I tried...
> set each cell across with DATEVALUE(datetext)
> test - IF(B; DATEVALUE("2019-06-23"); "TODAY")
didn't work.
I feel as if I might be able to work it if given a start direction. At the moment I suspect I am stabbing in the dark.
I hope the above stabs at least makes some sense

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Take a look at the attached file. I used the menu Format -> Conditional Formatting to apply a cell style called Highlight, which I defined, when the value of the cell is equal to the value of the TODAY() function.

Excellent.!
To save time formatting each cell - =B1+1 =C1+1 etc. I set the date for the first cell, press enter and then drag the cell bottom-right handle across the required cells. It auto updates.

Many thanks for the solution. Very elegant.
