    Spreadsheet Help

    Morning All

    I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a spreadsheet that my colleague is spending days per week manually inputting data and I would like to take out her human error and essential let the spreadsheet look after itself
    I have attached an example spreadsheet.

    Below are the rules I'm looking to apply

    1) Column H, if NEW STARTER = Highlight Yellow
    2) Column H, if NEW STARTER = Highlight Red after 3 months from Start Date
    3) Column J, calculate 1 year from Column H (I have used the EDATE,*12 however not sure how to get around the new starter '#VALUE', Ideally I would like this to state 'REQUIRED')
    4) Column J, Highlight Amber if due date is 3 months (I tried =$J2>TODAY()-90 but this didn't seem to work properly?)
    5) Column J, Highlight Red if due date has past (I think the Con formatting would be =$J2<TODAY() but just wanted to check)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Kind regards
    Justin

    Re: Spreadsheet Help

    a few clarifying questions

    row 17 - why yellow as before 3 months

    3) Column J, calculate 1 year from Column H (I have used the EDATE,*12 however not sure how to get around the new starter '#VALUE', Ideally I would like this to state 'REQUIRED')
    =IF(ISNUMBER(H2),DATE(YEAR(H2)+1,MONTH(H2),DAY(H2)),"required")

    4) Column J, Highlight Amber if due date is 3 months (I tried =$J2>TODAY()-90 but this didn't seem to work properly?)
    what did you want as a result - that should work and include future dtes

    5) Column J, Highlight Red if due date has past (I think the Con formatting would be =$J2<TODAY() but just wanted to check)
    yes - but will highlight blank cells
    so maybe
    =AND($J2<>"",$J2<TODAY())

    what colour if =

    you may need a stop if true and order the cells

    as J2 >today()-90
    will also highlight
    J2<today()

    if you select a range - say j1 to j24
    then you need the formula to satrt at row 1

    so
    $J1 < today()

    you also had $J$2 - so fixed at J2 for all calcs

    j2>today()-90
    and j2 <today()
    overlaps and conflicts - what is it you want here

    so all possible - just need some clarification and perhaps add some example expected results
