iI would like to create a training matrix that displays in a traffic light
i.e red = needs retraining. Green= trained. yellow = being trained. Each
cell would change to the required colour by typing R + date of training
completed would change this cell from green to red highlighting the need for
retraining. date of training completed = trained but when the date was moor
than 5 years the cell would change to red. BT =for being trained would turn
cell yellow

Using conditional formatting. I set my table up like this.

Column A = Date
Column B = Status Date (Training Status Date)
Column C = Training Completion Status

Then in cell C1 I used the following conditional formattings.


1.

Formula Is:

=AND(C2="T",DATEDIF(B2,A2,"Y")<5) ----------Format Green

2.

Formula Is:

=OR(C2="R",DATEDIF(B2,A2,"Y")=5) ----------Format Red

3.

Formula Is:

=C2="BT" ----------Format Yellow


HTH

Cheers,

Steve
