Hi
I am trying to conditional format the dates inputted based on the month plus the number of months input into column E.

I want to create 2 formats one for past due in red and one for due in 3 months in yellow

Can anyone help please?

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Hi Misstoffeepenny,

This should work for you but please note the CF for red should appear first (to avoid having to put a range on the yellow check).

Hi. On similar note:

I'm trying to make a personal finances spreadsheet (using MS Excel for Mac, version 16.60, Office 365 subscription), which will alert me to bills' expiration dates.

I'm using this function, with conditional formatting:
=IFS(F4="";"";F4>=6;"";F4>=3;"attention";F4<=0;"overdue")
The F cell numbers refer to the number of days till the due date, using a calculation =E4-$B$1 (where B1 is =today())

This is working fine, to this point.

Once the bill is paid, however, I would like to add this information and I can't seem to make it work. Would I add a condition to this same function? Can I use a function in a different cell to format the DUE DATE cell (and paint it green, with PAID on it)?

Thanks again,

MK
