Hi Penny,
please find attached my suggested solution. I have created extra columns for each condition, and used LEN() function to capture empty cells (as an alternative, you can also use ISBLANK()). Then I have created conditional formatting for each of the conditions and applied to the due date column in the order starting with 'Overdue', then 'Due Next 7 days', 'Due in 2 weeks' etc. For each condition I have ticked the box to 'Stop If True'.

Regards
Yury
