Date ranges and symbols

Richard@npdc

I am looking for a formula to automatically change a symbol colour based on contract expiry dates. Here is what I need each symbol to signify about the expiry date column -

Green dot = If the contract expiry date is greater than 365 days from today

Yellow dot = If the contract expiry date is less than 365 days away from today

Blue Dot = if the date has past todays date

Red dot = box not populated

All help will be gratefully received.

It would also be cool to get up a notification when the symbols change colour.

Thanks in advance

Hi Richard. 

Try this formula. IF the name of your column is different from Contract Expiry, please update that column name. 

=IF(ISBLANK([Contract Expiry]@row), "Red", IF([Contract Expiry]@row - TODAY() >= 365, "Green", IF(AND([Contract Expiry]@row - TODAY() >= 0, [Contract Expiry]@row - TODAY() < 365), "Yellow", IF([Contract Expiry]@row < TODAY(), "Blue", ""))))

You can set up an alert for whenever the column changes.

=IF(ISBLANK([Contract Expiry]@row), "Red", IF([Contract Expiry]@row >= TODAY(365), "Green", IF([Contract Expiry]@row >= TODAY(), "Yellow", "Blue")))

 

Give this a whirl...

 

EDIT: Argh!!! Sorry Mike. I need to remember to refresh before replying to threads I opened earlier in the day.
