    Conditional formatting formula to determine current, coming due, or past due based on date

    I created a spreadsheet to track down volunteers based on their training/certification. I have tried multiple methods and going through different options to get this right, but so far It's not working.

    There are 3 conditions I would like to apply to cell M3:

    If cell value L3 is two years or more than TODAY's date, highlight M3 red.

    If cell value L3 is one year to a day before two years from TODAY's date, highlight M3 yellow.

    If Cell value L3 is less than a year from TODAY's date, highlight M3 green.

    I have attached my spreadsheet for a better visual. In the future, I would like to use icons (i.e. Green check mark, yellow exclamation, and red X) instead of just highlighting the cell.

    Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure which date column to use

    E or L

    assuming E

    you should be able to setup three rules

    For RED
    =E3<DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

    For Yellow
    =E3<DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-2,MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))

    For Green
    =E3<today()

    if you make sure they are in that order and use stop if true

    to setup conditional formatting

    for 2007 or 2010 excel version
    Conditional Formatting

    Highlight applicable range >>
    E3:E10

    Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
    New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
    Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:

    =E3<today()

    Format… [Number, Font, Border, Fill]
    choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
    OK >> OK

    repeat for the other two formulas

    If you put the ICON conditional formatting in column L you don't need the Status column anymore. See attached workbook.
