I have a training matrix setup which records training expiry dates, I have used conditional formatting to highlight cells which

  • Are blank - training to be completed (yellow)
  • Contain N/A (grey)
  • Expiry is greater than todays date (green)
  • Expiry is within 90 days of todays date (orange)
  • Expiry is less than todays date (Red)

The formatting for 'due within 90 days' is not working, what do I need to fix?

    Though cell format is date format, if it is a text. It can not be change to date value.

    You may need to set date format first, then enter a date in that cell. Then it will be recognized as a date.

    You may try reinputting a date.

    It is caused by your data in that cell is text instead of date.

    You may try reinputting the date and it will work.
