Hello! I am trying to figure out a formula to accomplish a rather simple task. I have an idea of how to do this, but I would love some input!
The use case will be a simple conditional formatting, but I would like it done in one formula, rather than manually putting in a different formula for each case.
Here is the challenge:

Currently, I have 4 separate conditional formatting rules changing cell colors based on their dates. Here are those formulas:

Those dates are based on the "Quarterly" Option in the column on the left.
Here is what I would like:
I would like the colors to only changed if the left column is equal to the proper date. Allow me to explain.
If "Monthly" is selected, then the conditional formatting will need to match those dates. Therefore, only dates this month will be green and later dates will change colors accordingly.
If "Quarterly" is selected, then the conditional formatting will need to only reflect dates based on 90 days. Therefore, only dates within 90 days will be green.
Basically, I am trying to conditional format with a conditional format. Can anyone provide the best way to do this? If I need to go into more detail I can.
Hope I explained that well enough!
