Use Conditional Formatting

Look Under Format, Conditional formatting

Marc,

You can use Conditional Formatting (CF) from the Format menu to
do this. Open the CF dialog, change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula
Is" and enter the following for the formula:

=(TODAY()-A1)30

Change A1 to the address of the cell containing the date.
