Conditional formatting based on date
Good morning,
I need a formula that will turn the date in the Attempted Contact column grey, if it is more than one day past the date in the Assigned column.
Is this possible?

Hi @skh,
You will need to use a "helper" column for this. Create a new column that will track if the Attempted Date meets the criteria - I suggest a check box.
I created a checkbox column called "Attempted Contact (Helper)" - this can be hidden. I added the following formula: "=IF([Attempted Contact]@row > (Assigned@row + 1), 1)". This will check the box once the date is greater that 1 day late.
Next, you can create a conditional format based on that checkbox,
Hope this helps,
Dave

Thank you! This worked perfect. I have two other columns that will need a similar formula:
I need a formula that will turn the date in the Contacted Date column grey, if it is more than one day past the date in the Assigned column.
And I need a formula that will turn the date in the Planned Inspection column grey, if it is more than two days past the date in the Assigned column.
