Default formulas

I have a spreedsheet that I'm working on that consists of names and dates.
What my I need to do is when the date is with in 4 years (1460 day) be one
color and with in 60 days to change a another color and with in 30 days
change another color. The formula I'm using works for the forst two but won't
change for the last it is =(c3-today())<1460 and is green for the first one
and =(c3-today())<60 and changes to yellow for the second and
=(c3-today())<30 changes red for the third and it's not working on the third
one. Could someone please help?

I assume you are talking about conditional formatting.
you need to set condition 1 to be =(c3-today())<30, condition 2
=(c3-today())<60 and condition 3 =(c3-today())<1460

1st condition: (today()-c3)<30 -red
2nd condition: (today()-c3)<60 -yellow
3rd condition: (today()-c3)<1460 -green
