Conditonal Formatting in Excel
I would like to use two colors for coloring dates that are meetings. These dates are space out for the last three months. I want to color green for the first year and say red for the year beyond. I have tried several ways and not getting the same results.
My summary sheet has all formulas and the conditional formatting that I tried did not work the same way.
I have tried several tutorials and not getting the right answers.
P.S. I am using dates.
Perhaps
=(A3>EDATE(TODAY(),-12))*ISNUMBER(A3)for the green and
=(A3<=EDATE(TODAY(),-12))*(A3>1)for the red, applied to =$A$3:$I$8

A B C D E F H 10/18/2018 6/7/2017 6/7/2017 4/9/2019 11/27/2018 11/27/2018 11/29/2018 3/9/2018 10/23/2017 10/23/2017 10/24/2017 10/24/2017 8/30/2018 8/30/2018 4/9/2019 2/1/2019 2/1/2019 2/1/2019 - TwifooSilver Contributor
Please attach your sample file so that it would be easier to test the appropriate conditional formatting formula.

Attach is sample of what I am working with. I want to highlight less than year and red over a year old.
Thank You for your help.
- TwifooSilver ContributorSelect your date range ( assuming as starting in A2) and apply this conditional formatting formulas:
For green:
=A2<=EndOfFirstYear
For red:
=A2>EndOfFirstYear- frontdesksmCopper Contributor
This did not work or I didn't understand the process. Here is another Twifoo
