Help! I really hope you can respond to this and help me!
I need a formula(s) to apply conditional formatting based on various dates in a column both on the same tab and from a previous tab in the same workbook. Column A is "Date Received" (where the date will vary by when something was received). Column B would be Date Created.
The basics of the formula I need would be if Column A date is greater than 1 week (or 7 days, whichever is easier), format the cell yellow, if greater than 2 weeks (14 days), format the cell red.
Specific Example: If a date isn't entered in Column B within one week (or 7 days, which ever is easier), the cell in Column A will turn yellow, if no date is entered in Column B within 2 weeks (or 14 days) the cell in Column A will turn Red. If a date is entered in Column B the cell in Column B with the date can turn green.
The ideal formatting would be to add icon sets with with the stop lights instead of highlighting the cell with a color. I believe there is an option to enter a custom formula to apply it with the icon sets, correct? If so, I will do that using the formula above. If not, it's not a deal-breaker.
One other thing, how do I reference a column from another tab so it will add and show two weeks after the date in a column of the other tab. Example - Column A "Quote for Approval" in Tab 1 has a date entered for when the quote was submitted. We need Column B in Tab 2 to add 2 weeks (14 days) and put that in Column A from Tab 1. The conditional formatting for that date in Tab 2 would be based on the original date in Tab 1 but would be the same concept of >7 days, >14 days.
I really hope this makes sense. Please let me know if you have questions and thank you very much for having the forum!!!
