Hi Ismael
Thanks for your reply but this hasn't produced the outcome I was looking for but it has stemmed an idea.
Thanks!

Please share the outcome you were expecting. I used the NOW function to extract current date but that can easily be pointed to a cell.
- Aaron LockettFeb 15, 2018Brass ContributorThe outcome I'm expecting is that Column M to turn red if dates specified in Column K lapse over the current date. Regardless whether a date has been entered into Column L.
Once I figure it out I will post the formula.- Ismael PimientaFeb 15, 2018Copper Contributor
If you want column M to turn red (R) when the K date has lapsed (which it will always do over time) regardless of what's in L, then this should work:
=IF(K2="","D",IF(L2="",IF(K2<NOW(),"R","A"),IF(K2<NOW(),"R",IF(K2<L2,"R","G"))))
