Default Conditional Format to display text alert

Thanks Per,

Can this be made to work in column A2 and down itself rather than B2 and
down? I have several columns and creating new columns for each would be
impractical. Look forward to hearing.

Hi

Suppose you have dates in column A2 and down, in column B2 and down you have
status:

Insert this formula in B2 and copy down as desired.

=IF(A2+DAY(120)TODAY(),"Good","Book")

To turn "Book" red, we have to use conditional formatting:

Goto Format Conditional Formatting Cell Value: equal to: enter ="Book"

Format as desired.

Hopes this helps

I have a column of dates that are expiry dates of professional trainings. I
want the cells in the same column to display "Good" if the expiry is more
than 120 days away and "Book" when it is 120 or less days away. Would help
if
the "Book" appeared in red. Please help.

Thanks in advance.
