    Question How to use Conditional Formatting to highlight a cell based from that cell's date?

    I'm having issues coming up with a way to have the cells highlight after a specific amount of days. I.E. Customer submits an application on 2/15/2018. I would like that cell to highlight after it has been 20 days, and then again at 30 days.

    When I use the TODAY() > 30 formula, it highlights the entire column. I am fairly new to conditional formatting, could anyone give me some assistance?

    That won't work. Try

    =AND(TODAY()-A2>30,A2<>"")

    where a2 contains the date you are checking. here is a two-tone example in A2 to A20 of the attached sheet.
