Hi, I am in the process of creating an MS Excel spreadsheet to track Accreditation Authorization Termination Dates (ATD). I have a number of columns with different information types. In column C has the ATDs, column J has the start date for when I need to start assessing security controls, and column K has the end date for when the assessment should end. I want column J to automatically turn green 30 days before the assessment start date, then automatically turn yellow on the start date, and automatically turn red if the assessment date in column has passed. I have been able to get the cell to turn color, if I manually change the date in column J. But have not figure out to have it change automatically based on dates. Column E has the Assessment Types, (Re-accreditation, Annual Review, or New). For systems that are going through an Re-accreditation and did not do an annual review, I am giving myself 90 days to complete the assessment of 1/3 of the controls, for a total of three assessment dates. And the annual reviews 1/3 of the controls are assessed annually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN

Conditional format should work - ALL based off column J the start date for Green & yellow
Then column K for RED
BUT what column has that the info that the assessment has been done - so you can ignore that row ?

NOT sure i follow this bit or what cells to use

BUT on RED are we testing column K? AND how to tell if complete , otherwise will all just go RED
