Hello all!

Need some direction on whether VBA or Conditional Formatting is the best/correct avenue for what I'm after...

I have a spreadsheet that will be tracking all of the start-to-finish checkpoints in different phases for tasks that need to be completed for a customer, their new product, and when that product is due.

I need to highlight the customer name
Red if, based on the due date, any of the check dates for that customer will be 2 days or less than the due date.
Yellow if any of the check dates are within 4 days of the due date.
Green if all of the checkpoint dates are greater than the production date by at least 2 days.

Below is an example of what I'm after...

3/20/22​

Magnificent Mike's would be highlighted Yellow since the final check date is 2/25 and within 4 days of the due date. Brainy Brian's would be highlighted Green, and Jazzy Joe's would be Red as we are way outside the due date. I'm already conditional formatting the individual checkpoints R/Y/G based on the due date. I just can't get that to translate to the customer cell.

Again, wasn't sure if this would be best suited for VBA or Conditional Formatting. I'm guessing CF but I haven't been able to make it work...

Thanks in advance for your help!

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Thank you Fluff! This worked perfectly! I never even considered the 'Stop if True' boxes making a difference with the formatting. Now, I know! :)
