Try this:<\/p>

=IF(Status@row <> \"Complete\", IF([Due Date]@row< TODAY(), \"Red\", IF([Due Date]@row>= TODAY(3), \"Green\", \"Yellow\"))<\/p>

<\/p>

The main issue with your formula is that you are saying to only flag yellow when the due date is equal to TODAY(2) instead of less than or equal to.<\/p>"},{"commentID":385144,"body":"

There are a number of ways to do this. The most secure way would actually mean a restructure and an OR statement:<\/p>

=IF(Status@row <> \"Complete\", IF(OR([Due Date]@row = \"\", [Due Date]@row.= TODAY(3)), \"Green\", IF([Due Date]@row< TODAY(), \"Red\", \"Yellow\"))<\/p>

<\/p>

I moved the Green argument to be first because sometimes Smartsheet will read a blank cell as being less than a non-blank cell. If we had left it in the original order, this would have meant it would flag as true on the red argument when the due date was blank.<\/p>

<\/p>

Of course there are a number of other ways to do it, but this would be my personally preferred method.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":107593,"type":"question","name":"Extracting Question","excerpt":"Hello!
