Hello,

I need an if/then formula to automatically change the Status symbol to green if the date in the Batch Received column is within 7 days. And automatically change the Status symbol to red if the date is past 7 days.

See example below:

Thanks in advance!

    In the Status1 column you can try this formula:

    =IF(([Batch Received]1 - TODAY()) - 7 > 0, "Green", "Red")

    In your question, it is not clear if the "Batch Received" is a due date, i.e., are you counting as you are coming up to this data or past this date. So, formula may have to adjusted accordingly. Further, the formula is looking for within 7 days on either side of "batch received" date.

  • Thank you, =IF(([Batch Received]1 - TODAY()) + 7 > 0, "Green", "Red") worked.
