Default Conditional Formatting with deadlines

Hi,

To answer the specific question you asked

1. Highlight all the cells on the rows you want formatted
2. Choose Home, Conditional Formatting, New Rule
3. Choose Use a formula to determine which cell to format
4. In the Format values where this formula is true enter the following
formula:
=TODAY()-2=A1
5. Click the Format button and choose a format.
6. Click OK twice

If you want to do it for the two days before today then:

=OR(TODAY()-A1=2,TODAY()-A1=1)

Or if you want to format all date which are on or after Today-2 then

=A1=TODAY()-2
would do.

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
