Conditional formating to highlight dates 30, 60, and 90 days out?

[Guest]

What would the formula look like to highlight cells, by date (month and
year), as the date approaches? ie... 90, 60 or 30 days out.

What would the formula look like to highlight cells, by date (month and
year), as the date approaches? ie... 90, 60 or 30 days out.

Assuming:
You are trying to age your receivables
Column A has Due Dates, B has a calculation for overdue days, C has
Aging
Data is from A3 downwards
You have Today's date in Cell C1

Write the following formula in Cell B3
=IF(A3>=$C$1,"Not Due",$C$1-A3)

Write the following formula in Cell C3
=IF(B3="Not
Due","Current",IF(AND(B3>0,B3<31),"00-30",(IF(AND(B3>30,B3<61),"31-60",IF(AND(B3>60,B3<91),"61-90","Over
90")))))

Copy both formulas along your due dates in Column A

Is that what you are looking for?

Try this: highlight the cells you want to include, then go to Format,
Conditional Formatting, choose Cell Value Is less than or equal to, and then
in the formula bar, enter: =NOW()+30 Be sure to choose a format (i.e.
applicable cells with have yellow shading, etc.). For 60 days or less, the
formula would be =NOW()+60, etc. If you wanted to take it a step further and
break it into 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, etc., you could use "between" instead of
less than or equal to. Hope this helps.

How would this be handled across multiple columns? I have a sheet that needs
this on every other column across more than 20 columns.

Dear Splatme: THEN, how would one add a 3-circle icon set symbol (stop
light) in column A to say "If any of the dates in this row are coming due or
are overdue, show yellow or red"?
