Conditional Formatting for two end dates

Just to be clear I only have one end date in my sheet.

The sheet has a conditional format set up to flag "At Risk" tasks when the end date has already passed. Here's the current formula:

IF(AND([End Date]3 < TODAY(), NOT(Status3 = "Complete")), 1, 0)

I want to add another condition to flag the task when it is within 5 days of the end date.

Can anyone help me work this out? Thank you!

I wasn't able to combine into a single formula, but with an extra hidden helper flag column you could create conditional formatting to react to this flag. See if this will work for you:

=IF(AND(TODAY() - 5 <= [End Date]@row, ([Status3]@row <> "Complete")), 1, 0)

You could change your flag column to something that has more options such as a RYG type. Then you could use a nested IF to designate different statuses and have your conditional formatting based off of that. Something like...

=IF(Status@row <> "Complete", IF(TODAY() >= [End Date]@row, "Red", IF(TODAY(5) >= [End Date]@row, "Yellow")), "Green")

This will turn the ball Red if the Status is not complete and the end date is today or past due, Yellow, if it is not complete and the end date is within the next 5 days, blank if it is not complete and the end date is more than 5 days away, and Green if the status is complete.

Published Sheet - Users Unable to add Attachments
I have a sheet for which I've provided a publish link to many unlicensed users. They use the sheet to attach files to rows. This has been working as expected for multiple years previously, but today, we've discovered it will not allow them to attach files to rows and they're met with the message "This action has been…
Reports - Can non-admins sort?
I have a number of reports which live in a workspace. This workspace has a handful of admins, and about 40 licensed users who have editor access in the workspace. Is it possible for these editors to sort reports? Or do I have to make all of them workspace admins for that functionality to be a thing? Seems a bit much…
