Conditional formatting based on time elapsed from date
Hi there!
I’m trying to figure out how to make a specific cell in a column appear a certain color based on the amount of time that has elapsed from a date in the cell in the adjacent column… If that makes sense…
So, if cell G4 has a date in it for the last contact with an individual, I want cell H4 to appear green if that date is within the last 30 days, yellow if it’s between 31-60 days ago, orange for 61-90 days ago, red for 91-120 days ago, and black for anything over 120 days ago. I then want to make sure this is a blanket format so that the same rule applies to any cell in the G/H columns (so same rule will apply for G5/H5, G6/H6, and so on).
I saw another post referencing a date being more or less than today’s date in months:
=EDATE(G2,3) <=TODAY()
but I wasn’t sure if there was a way to do it in days past vs months? If not, I can make months work. I just don’t know how to make it a blanket format (vs inputting the formula in each individual cell) w/ multiple color options?
Thanks in advance!
