Hi,

I am struggling to find the correct formula to conditionally format the cell, based on the date within that cell. For example, if in Cell B5 I enter the date 22/11/2022, then i want the following conditioning to change the cell fill colour:
22/11/2022 plus up to 9 months - cell is green
22/11/2022 plus 9-12 months - cell is amber
22/11/2022 plus 12 months+ - cell is red.

This is so I can track certificate date renewals. Once the certificate is issued (22/11/2022) it is in date and therefore green. In 9 months time, it will change to amber to highlight that it is coming up for reneweal. In 12 months time I want it to change to red to show it is overdue.

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
I've added the CF to 2 more cells (B7 & B9) just to show the effect on earlier dates.
