highlight the cell yellow 30 days prior to that date. Also...I want excel to

assume the dates starts in C1 going down, select all cells from C1 do
formatconditional formatting
formula is

=$E$1-C130


where E1 would be the cell where you put the date

click format and select red pattern

add a second condition and use

=$E$1-C1=30

select red pattern, press OK twice
