Hello ElliotDT,
Yes, you can do this with conditional formatting. Select the range of cells containing the dates for all part numbers (e.g., D2:AR4). Go to Home → Conditional Formatting → New Rule → Use a formula to determine which cells to format and enter this formula:
=AND(D$1<=$C2,D$1>=TODAY())
Then choose a fill colour and apply. D$1 refers to the top-row date, $C2 refers to the Renewal Date for each part number. This will automatically colour the cells from the start until the renewal date for each row.
