I have two columns of cells, one with the Due Date and one with the Received Date of certain parts.
If the Received Date column is blank, I want to compare the Due Date to today's date and conditionally format the cell if the part is overdue (red) or if it is due within two weeks (yellow).
If the Received Date column is full, I want to skip over that cell.
How do I conditionally format in Excel to look like the example in the below link?

Thank you in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

For overdue

Select the cells you want to conditionally format.
In conditional formatting use the formula and select your formatting
Code:
=AND(A4<$B$1,B4="")
make this the first rule and check stop if true in the CF rules manager


same for yellow but use this formula and make it last in the rules manager
Code:
=AND(A4<$B$1+14,B4="")
