Life_is there are lots of ways to do it, but how about:
=(ABS(TODAY()-DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(B5),DAY(B5))-15)<=15)

If you don't care if it stays on for ever

=TODAY()>=(B5-30)

Or, if you want +- 30 days

=ABS(TODAY()-B5)<=30

Or if you want the warning to go of once the date is passed

=AND(TODAY()>=(B5-30),TODAY()<=B5)

=(TODAY()>=(B5-30))*(TODAY()<=B5)

MindreVetande Thank you so much for your response

For example, I have an employee's hire date as 12/1/2018 in B5 I need another cell to stay highlighted for 30 days "after" the current date of 12/1/2020 is reached.
This formulas works to highlight the cell, but for only the one day of the anniversary .. somewhere in this formula I should be able to add +30 days, I've tried several options, I just can't seem to make it work.
=(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH(B5))*(DAY(TODAY())=DAY(B5))
