Default Experation Date

I'm not sure if I am doing this right. I went into "managing rules" and made
two new rules as you indicated (copied and pasted). When I apply the rules no
matter what date is in the field "Red" fills the block?

Supposing your exp date is in A1, use following conditional formats for
cell A1
=and(today()-A1<=90,today()-A130) ( and set your format to "amber")
and as 2nd condition
=today()-A1<=30 ( and set format to "red")

Calendar days, and yes the color should stay "Amber" until 30 days out
and
then turn to "Red". I hope I am explaining everything corectly.

Hi,
are you talking about calendar days or working days?
Should the colour stay from exp_date-90 till exp_date-30?

I have a column in which I have different expiration Dates. I would

like
the
box to change color to amber when today's date is 90 days from the
expiration
date and then red when 30 days from the expiration date. The actual
formula
would be most useful.

Thank you in advance.
