Hello. I have a file that includes the start dates of the project in column B, starting from cell B2, and corresponding in column C to the end date. I want a way, whether in conditional formatting or VBA code, that enables me to highlight the dates of projects that have 7 days remaining until completion, so that a warning message is shown or the color of the date changes automatically. .

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
A cf rule might look like =DAYS(NOW(),C2)<=7
You specified (exactly?) 7 but what I posted would apply where the C column dates are 7 days or less. That would include any date that is past the due date as well.

I tried to do it somehow, but my problem is that conditional formatting is executed when the cell is empty

Internally, blanks equate to zero. A solution can depend on whether or not your cells are truly blank (they are not if they contain a formula but the formula doesn't show any result). Review

and/or try AND($M3<=7, $M3<>"")
