Need help with a conditional formatting formula that will change the text in B2 to "red" when the date is past the six-month mark.

For example, 15 Mar 23 returns 0 years, 8 Months and 16 days from today (based on the formula in B2.

A2=15-Mar-23
B2 = =IF(G5,DATEDIF(G5,TODAY(),"y")&" Years, "&DATEDIF(G5,TODAY(),"ym")&" Months and "&DATEDIF(G5,TODAY(),"md")&" Days","")

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
You can simply use the EDATE function to add/subtract 6 months from a date, and then you can compare that date to another date, i.e.
to find if a date is more than six months in the past, if the date being checked is in cell A2, the formula would look like:
Excel Formula:
=A2<EDATE(TODAY(),-6)
