Please please please someone help!
I have a spreadsheet as below. A2 - 'Date Approved' is manually entered, B2 - 'Review Date' and C2 - 'Trial Expiry' are automatically calculated based on the date entered in A2 - 'Date Approved'.
I need to conditionally format as follows:

B2 - Cell to turn green when B2 'Review Date' is less than or equal to A2+728
B2 - Cell to turn red when B2 'Review Date' is greater than or equal to A2+729
C2 - Cell to turn green when C2 'Trial Expiry' is less than or equal to A2+90
C2 - Cell to turn red when C2 'Trial Expiry' is greater than or equal to A2+91

I have tried so many combinations but I cannot for the life of me get it to work correctly.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
It doesn't make much sense to me if e.g. B2 is calculated as A2+728 it will never be >=A2+729.
Anyhow you need a rule, based on a formula, for each situation, e.g. the first rule with formula: =B2<=A2+728
