How do I change a row color based on another rows date?

MaddyDesautels

Hi guys,

I am looking to change the text color in the row labeled "Projected Start Date" to red if the date in the row "Actual Start Date" is beyond that projected start date. I assume this is something that conditional formatting can help with, but I can't seem to figure it out. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!

@MaddyDesautels You would need to add a helper column

in the helper column you would have a column formula that is something like

=if([projected start date]@row < [actual start date]@row, 1, 0)

Then in your conditional formatting you will format the projected start date column based on if your helper column is 1.

Does that make sense? I can send a screenshot if that helps
