I am looking for help to change a row of cells color based on a date.

Here is the problem:

If a person is to leave a job on a future date (X) and I want the row of cells containing that persons data to change colors based on how close today's date is to that future date.

If the future date (X) is over 90 days away, the row is green, if X is less than 90 but greater than or equal to 30 days, the row is yellow, if X is less than 30 days away the row is red.


thank you all.

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hi @jonylost, welcome to the forum!

Select cells A2:B4
Add these formulas in the following order:

First rule to green

=TODAY()+90<$B2

Second rule to yellow

=TODAY()+30<=$B2

Last to red

=TODAY()+30>$B2


<table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:76.04px;" /><col style="width:76.04px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td >NAME</td><td >DATE</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td style="background-color:#92d050; ">Dam</td><td style="background-color:#92d050; text-align:right; ">04/02/2020</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; ">Smi</td><td style="background-color:#ffff00; text-align:right; ">06/12/2019</td></tr><tr style="height:19px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td style="background-color:#ff0000; ">Jon</td><td style="background-color:#ff0000; text-align:right; ">20/11/2019</td></tr></table>
