If need to condition my spreadsheet to highlight cells green if date in cell is less than 8 months from today's date, highlight yellow if date in cell is between 8 and 11 months old and red if date in cell is 12 months or older.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.

To enter the formulas, select the column, click Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a Formula, and enter the formula and select the formatting. Make sure to change the column in the formula to match your selected column. You also need to make sure that the Green formula precedes the Yellow formula.

Solution
Thank you all! I ended up figuring it out and used following formulas:
Red
=DATEDIF(C4,TODAY(),"y")>=1

Yellow
=DATEDIF(C4,TODAY(),"m")>=9

Green
Cell does not contain blanks

White
If cell is blank
