I have a sheet that has a column labeled "Date Ticket Out" and what I want to do is use conditional formatting to change the color when the date the ticket is enter exceeds 3 & 5 days.

Basically what Im doing right now is "cell value is greater or equal to and I pick the same cell I originally insert the ticket date out is. Is this wrong? Another words, I enter say 4/1/11 and in 3 days the cell turns green and after 5 days it turns red.
 
Activate the cell you wish to turn color. Go to Format, select Conditional Formatting. In the window, changeCell Value Is to Formula Is. Thne enter the formula

=TODAY()-A1 > 5

Click Format select Pattern and select a color, click OK OK.

Do the same for the second condition

Whereas A! can be both the cell you want the color to change and the cell that houses the date entered.
