I am having trouble coming up with a formula to turn a cell in column A red if the date in column B is older than 30 days and column H is not "cancelled" or "closed". I'm using the formula below to count how many rows fit that criteria but I can't seem to translate it to the conditional formatting format

=COUNTIFS(H:H,"<>c*",B:B,"<"&TODAY()-30)
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Something like this?

If so, select range A2:A7, go to Conditional Formatting, select the "Use a formula to determine which cells to format", and enter this formula:
Excel Formula:
=AND(TODAY()-$B2>30,$H2<>"Cancelled",$H2<>"Closed")
Then choose the Red fill formatting option and press OK.
