yes,
you can use conditional formatting and colour the cells - or in a new column - flag they are not in compliance with text
BUT, if you can provide
A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.
Then its possible to show you various formulas
there maybe be better ways to set out the data - but again I dont know how many certificates are needed
Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.
we can use today() to see todays date and then depending on how old , flag the cell - so if the certificate needs to be renewed say every year
=cell with date <= today-365
that will flag if less than 365 days - BUT we can use DATE(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()) )
to go back exactly 1 year - or go back x years or x months
Therefore -
A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.
This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.
MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.
XL2BB - Excel Range to BBCode
Excel 'mini-sheet' in messages - XL2BB Although experts prefer to read your description and question instead of working in your actual file to solve your problem, there are times that it is difficult to explain an issue without providing actual...www.mrexcel.com
You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.
Test Here
Use this forum to test your signature, learn bbcode, smilies, XL2BB, etc. Threads in this forum are automatically deleted after no replies for seven (7) days
OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC
then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share
I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed
Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

Thank you so much for your assistance.ok, so you can see blanks using
=COUNTIF(H7:BA7,"")>0
and then the dates are less then today()
=COUNTIF(H7:BA7,"<"&TODAY())
BUT need to also make sure the ONCE is not counted
=COUNTIFS(H7:BA7,"<"&TODAY(),H$5:BA$5,"<>"&"once")
if the date in the "once" cell is blank - it will be flagged by the previous condition
so use an OR()
=OR( COUNTIF(H7:BA7,"")>0, COUNTIFS(H7:BA7,"<"&TODAY(),H$5:BA$5,"<>"&"once")>0 )
can be used in conditional formatting
then you will get TRUE or FALSE
or can be combined in an IF
a small extraction for XL2BB

also added the full spreadsheet to dropbox as a share , but only on share for a few days
BUT if you want to flag that somethign is due to run out
you could change today()
to maybe a week before or a month before
today()-7
if that does not work , please explain why and give expected results
