Hi all,

I am trying to get a status in my data to show different colours for delivery dates that are in L10 down, the status being in P10 down

At the moment I have CF for the following

=AND(LEN(L10),TODAY()>L10) = Red
=AND(LEN(L10),TODAY()=L10) = Green

These work fine, but what I am trying to do is have the cell go

yellow if L10 is 5 days away from the value of TODAY()
orange if L10 is 5 days away from the value of TODAY()

Would there be a specific order they would need to go in to make this work correctly

Many thanks

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Hi mart37,

sorry it should be 3 and 5 days

This almost works, it only highlights the 5 days, I need 1-5 days

Is this possible

many thanks by the way
