Conditional Formatting two dates:

[FGaxha]

Hi Master,
I need help to calculate with conditional formatting between two dates:
If B2:B8-G2 =<12month highlight cells in red and column C red flag including number of month, not number on C

 

[etaf]

write a conditional rule

=AND(B2<>"",B2<DATE(YEAR(TODAY())+1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY())))

will highlight red for any date within a year in the future

i have used today() within the formula rather than reference another cell - but can do if you want

dont understand the column c comments

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.

Column C is current date G2 - B2.

which is the days , BUT you want Months ..... what about fractions of months

1/1/24 - 1/1/23 is 365 days 12 months
But what about
1/1/24 - 15/12/23

how about
=IF(B2>TODAY(),DATEDIF(TODAY(),B2,"m"),DATEDIF(B2,TODAY(),"m"))

So "=IF(B2>TODAY(),DATEDIF(TODAY(),B2,"m"),DATEDIF(B2,TODAY(),"m"))" is not conditional formatting is just function?
C= today()- B2. already a function on column C??!

 

[etaf]

ok, your point , not following
you posted

and column C red flag including number of month, not number on C

Which i assumed was a question how to show the number of months in column C and not the number of days
otherwise i dont undertand at all

conditional formatting , has formatted Red column A, B & C based on the formula i posted , that the date is within a year of today

1. Does the conditional formatting WORK ?
if not why , please explain and
2. explain further the comment about months in column C

 

[FGaxha]

Yes conditional formatting is working great. Thank you,. I really appreciate your help.
But Number of days in column C are =today() on column G2- B2.

 

[etaf]

But Number of days in column C are =today() on column G2- B2.

ok, still not understanding
g2-b2
or
today()-b2
will give the number of days
