Select E5, then,
<Format <ConditionalFormat
Choose <Formula Is,
And enter this:
=AND(A50,TODAY()A5)

Click on "Format", and choose the Pattern color you wish, then <OK <OK.

Next, select F5, do the same, and use this formula:
=AND(A50,TODAY()-3A5)

Finally, select G5, and use this formula:
=AND(A50,TODAY()-7A5)

NOW, select all 3 cells, and click on the "Format Painter" icon (yellow
paint brush) on the tool bar.
Then click in E6 and drag down and across to G106.

This should copy the conditional formats to all your pertinent cells.
