Hey guys, I'm trying to write a couple of conditional formatting formulas that will be applied to a varying date range in column L. The general goal is this:

First Formula: Highlights cells if the column date range is 1 to 2 days older than the current date
Second Formula: Highlights cells if the column date range is 3-7 days older than the current date
Third Formula: Highlights cells if the column date range is greater than seven days than the current date:

I think something along the lines of =NOW()-L1<2 should work for the first formula, but it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Do you have them in that order, when you look at "Manage rules"?

That works great, it was definitely a problem on my end with the way the formulas were arranged. Thanks so much for your help!
