Try setting the condition to
Cell Value is
Not Between
=TODAY()
=TODAY()-(365*3)

Select your range of dataFormatConditional Formattingform dropdown
choose Formula is =DATEDIF(A1,TODAY(),"y")=3

Assume that you are having the Date Values in A Column. Place the cursor in
A1 cell and press Cntrll+Spacebar and now the total A Column will be getting
selected. A1 should be the active cell (Active Cell will have a white
Background after selection also).

Excel 2003:-
Select FormatConditional FormattingCondition 1Formula Is
=AND($A1<"",DATEDIF($A1,TODAY(),"Y")=3)
Then Click the Format command button and choose your desired Font and
Pattern colour and give Ok€¦

Excel 2007:-

Click HomeConditional FormattingManage Rules
OR
Alt+O+D
Click New RuleSelect Use Formula to determine which cell to FormatFormat
Values Where This Formula is True Copy and paste the below formula
=AND($A1<"",DATEDIF($A1,TODAY(),"Y")=3)
Click OkApplyOk.

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!

Usually, Excel is used for precise calculations - therefor I don't think the
suggestion to reduce 1095 days (365*3) is a good idea because of some leap
years with 366 days [such as 2008].

Thanks, this is similar to thow I have been doing it, however I need to
subtract full years and not 365 days as I realised this does not account for
leap years.
