    Conditoinal formating based on date

    Hi
    Please can someone help me
    I need to add conditional formatting based on a date

    1) In one cell I will have entered a date - say 1/10/19
    2) I then need conditional formatting to show if other cells in the workbook have had a date entered
    3) If the cell has not got a date entered but it is more than 50 days from the entered date (1/10/19) it must be green
    4) If the cell has not got a date entered but is 50 days to 30 days away from the entered date (1/10/19) it must be orange
    5) If the cell has not got a date entered but is less than 30 days away from the entered date (1/10/19) it must be red

    The aim is to identify if certain sequential actions have been completed in time for the deadline

    No cell references mentioned in the description at all.

    Post a sample spreadsheet with expected results, remove any sensitive data, create a mockup example if necessary.
    Use the Go Advanced option at the bottom of the page then scroll down to Manage Attachments as the "paperclip" method does not work on this forum.

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

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    Re: Conditoinal formating based on date

    I changed what I wanted to accomplish

    I have attached the worksheet.

    If the date is less than today's date it's red - row 3 should be red
    If the date is within 5 days of today's date then yellow - row 4 would be yellow
    if the date is more than 6 days away its green - row 5 - 19 should be green
    is there is no date in E there is not color in I. rows 20 - 24
    The column being looked at is E. The conditional format is in I

    Thanks for the help
