    Put this in C4 and drag down

    =IF(D4="DONE","",IF(TODAY()-B4>3,"TAKE ACTION",""))

    Just set the font colour to red as it's blank the rest of the time so you don't need conditional formatting

    Thanks you Crooza.

    I tried the formula. Why word TAKE ACTION is not displayed in C4. Only word #VALUE! is visible.
