I want to conditional format so the amounts in columns E onwards are highlighted if they are up for renewal within the next 12 months from today.

I basically want it to be so as we stand today (9th November 2017) - the current highlighted cells would be E17 and E18 as well as F2-F16. The rest would remain as they are. Then by 2nd December F2-F18 would be highlighted, before 1 Jan when it would change again for Item1.

Is there a relatively painless conditional formatting formula I could input to achieve this? (the year columns go on for a while so would like to avoid formatting each cell)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Scott, 

Thanks for the reply!

Unfortunately, the above formula makes all calls E2:H18 highlighted. I only wanted the cells in the next 12 months to be highlighted. Any ideas?

Thanks</date(year(today())+1,month(today()),day(today())),today()<date(e$1,month($c2),day($c2)))[>

Forum cut off the rest of the formula try
Code:
=AND(DATE(E$1,MONTH($C2),DAY($C2))>TODAY(),DATE(YEAR(TODAY())+1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))>=DATE(E$1,MONTH($C2),DAY($C2)))
