Hey Team,

Thanks for your support along the way.

I Have a column CLR timeline that has dates as below, which are actually a result of the formula of a different column
[TABLE="width: 130"]
<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]CLR Time line[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]16-Nov-17[/TD]

[TD]25-Jan-18[/TD]

[TD]22-Feb-18[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I wanted to apply conditional formatting to this particular column, where if the
  • Difference between that date and today's date is >= 30 then Cell will be green
  • Number of days between the timeline and today's date is >= 20& <30 then cells should turn Yellow
  • The difference in number of days is <20 the Cells should turn Red.

I am not able to find this option to apply today's date in Conditional formatting. Any suggestions are appreciated

Thanks

Code:
green
=if(($a2-today())>=30,true,false)

yellow
=if(($a2-1)-(today()-1)>=20,true,false)

red
=if(($a2-today())<20,true,false)
