Hello,

I'm looking for a formula that will automatically change based on close we are to the due date.

So let's say the following:

30 days till the live date, Green

15 days till the live date, Blue

5 days till the live date, Yellow

在5天,红色

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Meny,

    NestedIF( ) statementsutilizing theTODAY( ) functionwill be your best bet here. I had to make some assumptions based on the conditions you defined above, but this should work for you:


    =如果([日期]@row TODAY(5), [Due Date]@row < TODAY(30)), "Blue", IF([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(30), "Green"))))


    This formula assumes the following:

    • Green for any due date that is30 or moredays from today
    • Blue for any due date that isless than 30 but more than 5days from today
    • Yellow for any due date that isexactly5 days from today
    • Red for any due date that isless than 5days from today


    Feel free to modify as needed for your use case.

    Can I add something more?

    If the task has been check as done, they turn green regardless of the due date?

    Hi@Meny Hoffman

    I've added that if the Due Date is blank, it won't show as red, and if Done is checked, it will be green.

    =IF(Done@row = 1, "Green", IF([Due Date]@row = "", "", IF([Due Date]@row < TODAY(5), "Red", IF([Due Date]@row = TODAY(5), "Yellow", IF(AND([Due Date]@row > TODAY(5), [Due Date]@row < TODAY(30)), "Blue", IF([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(30), "Green"))))))

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
