    Conditional Formatting formula problem

    IF A1 date less than today and B1 = Working
    Than A1 date colour RED


    IF A1 date from today to next 9 days and B1 = Working
    Than A1 date colour ORANGE

    I apply below formulas in conditional formula, but not working properly.

    =IF(AND($A1 < TODAY()),$D1="WORKING")
    RED


    =IF(AND(TODAY()+9 > =$A1),$B1="WORKING")
    ORANGE

    Re: Conditional Formatting formula problem

    In your first formula you have

    D1="WORKING"

    But your description says B1
    Your formula should also be this

    =(AND($A1 < TODAY(),$B1="WORKING"))

    Your second formula should be

    =(AND(TODAY()+9 > =$A1,$B1="WORKING"))

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Change the order of the formulas, use the up arrow to make the red one the first formula, the orange one is taking precedent.

    Re: Conditional Formatting formula problem

    Hi

    I have used this to create a traffic light system on a spread sheet. I have cheated a little as I fill the cell with green and put two formulas in to change to amber and red

    =AND(D4>=TODAY()-89,D4<=TODAY()-75)

    =D4<=TODAY()-90

    the second one uses todays date as a reference and changes the cell red after 90 days

    the first one changes the colour of the cell amber if its between 75-89 days after the avent
