You can use Conditional Formatting. See:

I'd use conditional formatting (on the Format menu) You need the Formula Is
option and then set the condition to =A2NOW()-14 (assuming your date is in
cell A2. Once you've got it to work you can use the Format Painter to copy
the formatting to the rest of the cells / columns
