Hello,

I am attempting to conditional format a number of past dates. How can I get dates:

  • From the date in the cell red for 6 months
  • From the date in the cell amber from the 6 month point to 12 months
  • Un formatted if more than a year ago.
Cheers!
 

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
For red:
=AND([target cell]<TODAY(), [target cell]>= TODAY()-182)

For amber:
=AND([target cell]<TODAY()-182,[target cell]>=TODAY()-365)

If I understood your question, this should do what you need it to. If you want the red to highlight today's date as well, change the first < to <=.

A2= Given date
For red
Excel Formula:
=AND(A2<TODAY(),A2>=EDATE(TODAY(),-6))

For amber
Excel Formula:
=AND(A2<EDATE(TODAY(),-6),A2>=EDATE(TODAY(),-12))
