Conditional formating dates
 

I have a range of dates in a column and I would like it if I could highlight
any date that is more that 3 years old.

So if the date reads 02/10/2004 this should be highlighted red.

I would really appriciate a bit of help.

Conditional formating dates
 

CF formula is:

=DATEDIF(A2,TODAY(),"y")=3
