Hi, Here's the problem.
We schedule Dr. visits. After an appt is scheduled, there are 'To Do' items, such as a post quality follow-up call (B), or documents uploaded (C), etc... I would like to create reminders for the staff after the appointment has finished.
Assuming the Appt Date is in Column A and the others (B,C,D) are the tasks to be completed after the appt day arrives, I would like B,C,D to be highlighted thereafter.
Lastly, once B, C, D are individually entered into, I would like their conditional formatting to stop.
Thank you for your help and lmk if you need additional info.

@andermanrn2180 So in the attached I give an example and added 2 rules. 1 yellow for items <10days old and 1 orange for >10days old as an example of something you might want to add. here is the basic formula (Conditional Formatting -> New Rule -> Custom Formula):
=($A1<>"")*(B1="")*($A1<TODAY()-10)
So the $A says to always lookin in column A but the 1 may and will change to whatever row it is checking
The B1 is checking the top left corner of the selected range (B:D) to see if that cell is empty and then excel will go to the next cell and increment that reference accordingly
The <TODAY()-10 is checking if the entered date is more than 10 days ago.
Hope this is helpful and good luck.
