Conditional format. Date - Date<>deadline = red or green

Hello all,

I want to get a conditional format to work with deadlines I would love to know what I am doing wrong as it seems simple and I used this nearly 5 years ago, I appreciate your time,

Test line
Input date > input date completed, Deadline formula is 2 days, but ignores blank cell.

I have tried
=AND(C2-E2)<2
=C2-E2<2
==AND(C2-E2)<2
=if(C2-E2)<2 (i get a error on this one)
all 3 show red, but won't turn green when the dates are within the 2 days deadline, and they also show red when the date in E is not inputted.

Hello etaf,

what you have shown is great, thank you i see what i was doing wrong

including the raised date, from 01/03, to 03/03 should be green to account for raised permits at 4pm, I need 48 hours to complete the task. I don't know how to encompass times and dates so I am just rounding it up to the next day.

i don't need to highlight the source column C H or M

the format will need to cover column C, E H J M and O

the completed spreadsheet, thank you,
