    Conditional Format to highlight dates that are past 30 days and beyond the date in the cel

    I have a column with dates that I need to turn red with conditional formatting when date is past 30 days. Also I need it to ignore the blank cells so it doesn't automatically hightlight them. So far I have a conditional format with formula: =D2+30<TODAY(). I also added the conditional format of Fomat only cells that contain Blanks then selected formatting of no color and also tried white, but it is still not working. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    maybe this...
    =AND(D2<>'',D2+30<TODAY())

    If you habve many of these, it migght be better if you put TODAY() in its own cell, and then referenced it. TODAY is a dynamic function and updates with any workbook change, it may slow things down for you

    Still saying there is as error in the formula. I have to keep working on it. Something that seems so simple is so hard.
