Default CONDITIONAL FORMATTING OR AN 'IF' STATEMENT?

I have a spreadsheet with the following columns:
Col A €“ Date completed
Col B €“ Status
Col c €“ Scheduled start Date
Col D €“ Scheduled Finish Date

Information for column c and d is copied weekly into my spreadsheet from
another application. I would data entry the dates of the completed work into
column A. in the column B €“ status, I want any of the following to appear
based on certain criteria €“ ON TIME, OUT OF SPEC, OR OVERDUE for the dates in
the Date Completed column.
Now the criteria is as follows: the date in Column A is considered on time
if it is completed with the date range of the Scheduled Start Date and the
Scheduled finish Date + or €“ 5 days on either end. It would be considered
Out of Spec if it were completed outside of this range. And if there isnt
any date entered in Column A and todays date is past the scheduled finish
date, I would like it to show as Overdue.

Can anyone help me with this? I am not very experienced with any kind
programming.
