    Conditional formatting formula to check expired\old dates

    Hello everyone. I am trying to find out if there is a conditioning formatting to check dates in column A. If date is a year old than today’s date, than highlight it in red or in column B, place the word expired. Please see attachment for more details.Again, thank you very much for everyone’s help and time. Happy New Year!

    This is an excellent formula, which it will help me tremendously. It worked perfectly how I needed it. Now, is it possible to add the word "active" to this formula if date is not older than today’s date? Thank you Fotis for your great help!

    Hi again Kimston. Thank you for good words

    Try this formula.

    =IF(TODAY()>A2+365;"Expired";IF(A2<=TODAY();"Active";""))

    Hope to be better now.

    Fortis, could I ask you to take a look on the following thread when you have an opportunity? I am stuck on how to get the monthly and daily vacation accrual.
