Highlight the columns with the dates in it. Now go to FORMATCONDITIONAL
FORMATTING. The condition that you want to set is whe

"Cell Value Is" "between" "=TODAY()-1" and "=TODAY()+30"

Then hit the FORMAT button to choose a PATTERN (color) for cells meeting the
above calculated criteria. The formula will return all cells equal to today
and within or equal to 30 days from today.

Hope this helps.
