- Marcus_BoothMar 30, 2022Iron ContributorI need sort of the same thing, but I have a 'Date Mailed' column and a 'Date Received' column. I need to automatically color the dates in the 'Date Mailed' column whenever the date there is 45+ days older that the corresponding date in the 'Date Received' column. What is the formula for conditional formatting in this scenario? Thanks!
