Excel 3-color scale based on dynamic data
Hi,
I have a spreadsheet that includes a date column. What I would like is to figure out a way to use Excel's 3 color scale so the date furthest back is shaded color 1, today is color 2, and the furthest date out is color 3 and dates in between are along the color gradient. I know I could set up three conditional formatting rules that color based on past/present/future but I really want something that uses the color gradient so the furthest date out is a solid green, a date halfway in between is a lighter green, etc. I've tried experimenting and Googling and haven't found anything that works. Is it possible to do what I want?
Thanks!

That is brilliantly simple! I didn't know you could leave the min and max formulas blank. That's a great solution, thank you!!
