Excel Facts

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
It appears that column B and D are not dates at all, but rather they are numbers (specifically, the year number).
So you would not use date math of them. If you want to compare those years to the current year (whatever it may be), then use this formula:
Excel Formula:
YEAR(TODAY())
to get the year number of the current year.

Then you can use that in your Conditional Formatting calculations.

date stickered is NOT a date just a numbere for the year
and PAST i'm assuming the only year (date) that applies is 2018 in you example

you can use 2 formulas
=AND(B2<>"",B2<YEAR(TODAY())-5 (more than 5 years) RED , im assuming you mean 5 or more if so then
=And(B2<>"",B2<=YEAR(TODAY())-5 )
=B2=YEAR(TODAY())-4) (4 years) YELLOW

I actually need it to be Column D that gets the Highlighted value not Column B

Column B was the last time it was done but when it is past due as in Column D then it should be red and if it is within the final year it should be yellow but otherwise green

so all the dates in column D are in the future
can you give more examples and colours required
Column B was the last time it was done but when it is past due as in Column D then it should be red
when what is past due, column B ?
and if it is within the final year it should be yellow but otherwise green
So yellow is NOT 4 years .
within final year ??? means what exactly ,
again, some examples of expected results would help

you maybe able to modify based on the formulas i posted

so for RED in my example above
=AND(B2<>"",B2<YEAR(TODAY())-5)

for 2007, 2010 , 2013 , 2016 , 2019 or 365 Subscription excel version
Conditional Formatting

Highlight applicable range >>
B2:B10000 - Change, reduce or extend the rows to meet your data range of rows, - WILL highlight COLUMN B range

Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
=AND(B2<>"",B2<YEAR(TODAY())-5)

Format [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
OK >> OK

which mean that the cells in column B will turn RED , IF the value in B is less than 5 years from todays year

If you look at the 4th number it is past due
