Hi There,
First time poster here, thanks in advance for any time anyone may spend reading this post.
I am trying to use conditional formatting in my spreadsheet to give an easy visual cue that work needs to be done. We have work duties that need to be completed with in 15 days, then checked on within 120 days, then closed out completely within 180 days.
My first column is the start date
Second Column is a calculated column that is Start date + 15
The third column I will enter the date when the 15 day check is completed.
I have formatted this column so that it will highlight values in the second column that are within 3 days of today (Not sure if I used the best method for this, I used the rule Cell value, less than or equal to, =today()+(3).). I have plugged in example dates and this seems to be working correctly.
Now I want to add a rule in front of that, that will basically state, to ignore the previous rule, if the 3rd column contains a date (Which indicates that we have completed that task). I see the function that states "Stop if true", and it seems all I need is to setup a rule that states check column 3 for a value, and if it is blank then proceed, if it contains anything, then stop and do not process the second rule.
In summary, I would like the 2nd column text to turn red when the 15 date window is approaching, but once a date has been entered in the 3rd column, ignore this and return the text to default.
Hope this makes sense, thanks again.
