Hello & thanks for looking,
What I want is to make date formatted cells change color based on a parameter related to the date. For example, turn to red 7 days before the date in the field, and back to green when the date has passed, or when it is changed (updated).
It's basicaly a payment reminder, so if this is not exactly possible, are there any other ways to do it? Maybe the cell turns red on a predetermined date each month, and back to green on another date?
Thanks.
Select the cell(s) and go to Format|Conditional Formatting and select Formula Is from drop down menu and enter formula:
=AND(A1>TODAY(),A1-TODAY()<=7)
where A1 is top/left most cell in your selection
Click Format and choose Red.
Click Ok
Click Add and select formula is again with formula
=AND(A1<>"",A1<Today())
click Format and choose Green....etc
Where there is a will there are many ways.

If your date cells are in A2:A100 (for example) select that range and go to conditional formatting>use formula
=$A2>TODAY() format as green
2nd condition
=$A2-7>= TODAY() format as red
Does that work for you?
