Date ranges and symbols

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

Richard

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.
