Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Actually i have that wrong. this hurts the brain.
If 1.5 years from expiry green.
if today is less than 6 months from expiry amber.
less than 3 months from expiry red
expired black...

@Fegal I think it is the fact that you have merged cells in I that is making this difficult.
Generally, try and avoid merged cells that impact upon formula outcome.
That said, I wonder if like below will help?
I have included a formula in F which illustrates how to get the difference in days. It is not necessary to keep that for the CF to work.
I have included example CF for Black and for Red. Hopefully Amber and Green can be added with revised day limits.

Similar, I like the isnumber() from previous answer, didn't think of it.
