    What about 6 to 9 months? You can create an extra rule for that if necessary.

     

    Select J2:J6, J2 should be the active cell in the selection.

    Set the fill color to red. This will be the default.

     

    On the home tab of the ribbon, select Conditional Formatting > New Rule...

    Select 'Format only cells that contain'.

    Leave the first dropdown set to 'Cell Value'.

    Select 'greater than or equal to' from the second dropdown.

    Enter the formula =3*I2 in the box next to it.

    Click Format...

    Activate the Fill tab.

    Select yellow.

    Click OK, then OK.

     

    Repeat these steps but with the formula =9*I2 and green as fill color.
