RYG Formula: Trigger Yellow within 2 of the Set Threshold

How can I Modify this Formula to Turn Yellow if Story Point is within 2 Points of the Max Story Points:


=IF([Story Points]@row = [Max Story Points]@row, "Yellow", IF([Story Points]@row < [Max Story Points]@row, "Green", IF([Story Points]@row > [Max Story Points]@row, "Red")))

Thanks

    Try this:

    =IF([Story Points]@row =< ([Max Story Points]@row - 2), "Yellow", IF([Story Points]@row < [Max Story Points]@row, "Green", IF([Story Points]@row > [Max Story Points]@row, "Red")))

    Figured it Out. The Symbols (Less Than Equal) were backwards


    =IF([Story Points]@row <= ([Max Story Points]@row - 2), "Yellow", IF([Story Points]@row < [Max Story Points]@row, "Green", IF([Story Points]@row > [Max Story Points]@row, "Red")))

    Something is not right. The RYG Column is Yellow based on the Criteria Below and it should not be Yellow.

    Story Point = 22

    Max Story Points =31

    Thoughts?
