    Hi @Shlomi

    Create a new column titled "Today" and make it a Date column. Use this formula and convert it to column formula

    =TODAY()

    Add a new column titled "Difference" and add below formula to this column

    =[End date]@row - Today@row

    Now use a conditional formatting to highlight the end dates for which the difference value is less than 3.

    I hope this helps.
