Conditional Formatting with Dates
Could anyone help me with the formula so I can enter in conditional formatting.
What I’d like to do is have the third column flag up when someone’s date is approaching with say 2 weeks notice (turns amber) and then turns red when the date has passed so I know they need to arrange a further payment.
| Name | Draw Number | Date To Be Paid |
| Jim | 1 | 16/1/23 |
| Mike | 2 | 3/1/23 |
| Jason | 3 | 18/1/23 |
| Max | 4 | 23/1/22 |
| Sam | 5 | 2/1/23 |
| David | 6 | 31/1/22 |
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Here are some links to do it yourself :).
The learning experience is extraordinarily larger than the ready-made solution.

NikolinoDE Thank you !!! I have tried but I am not sure is it right or not, can you confirm
Amber =TODAY()+14<C2
Red =AND(TODAY()>C2,C2<>"")
Looking forward
Here is an example file...
If it's over the date, then RED
If it is between 1 day and 14 days before the date then YELLOW
If it is 15 days before the date WHITE
