Color code the cells
Hi All,
I have a question regarding color coding the cells on Smartsheet.
How can I color code column (Actual Delivery date) to highlight the following:
Dark green : for when the Actual date is equale or less than Date committed
Light Green : for when the Actual Date is after the date committed
Red : for when Actual date is empty
Many thanks :)

You are going to need a helper column that can be hidden after getting it set up. I would suggest making it a dropdown column and using the various color descriptions as the options within the column settings. In this column you would use a formula to output each of the different color descriptions then finally use conditional formatting to actually change the cell colors.

@Paul Newcome jumped in before I got this posted, but I would use the same approach.
And here is the formula for the format helper column:
=IF(ISBLANK([Date committed]@row), "", IF(ISBLANK([Actual delivery date]@row), "Not Entered", IF([Actual delivery date]@row <= [Date committed]@row, "On Time", IF([Actual delivery date]@row > [Date committed]@row, "Late", ""))))
