JSON for Formatting Dates

[AdmiralS]

I currently have a SharePoint list that we use for tracking Insurance Policy Expiration dates.  I would like it to format with the warning format for dates that are within the next 30 days.  I have read a few articles online and am still struggling.

Any help is appreciated, here is what I have so far -

@AdmiralS I will share the simpler approach just use this that will help. I have also shown below the example I made for you.

This is the formula: You need to convert the days in to millisecond to compare. 30 days is 2592000000 milliseconds.

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "style": {
    "color": "=if([$ExpiryDate]<= @now+2592000000, '#ff0000', '')"
  }
}

Hopefully this helps and mark the response appropriately.

@AdmiralS wow, reading all that JSON would give me a headache. You can color-code your cells where the expiration date is within the next 30 days by using the following short JSON to add a background color. Note that it requires the date comparison to be in milliseconds! My column is named NextReview:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "div",
  "txtContent": "@currentField",
  "style": {
    "background-color": "=if([$NextReview] <= @now + 2592000000, '#ff9a00','#dddeee')",
    "color": "white",
    "padding-left": "10px"
  }
}

Thanks!

I need to color for 3 scenarios against the same column though -

Red - Dates Before Today

Yellow- Dates between Today and 30 days out

Green - Dates 30 days and forward from Today

Can I do that all in the same JSON conditional filter?

[#5]

@AdmiralS Yes just you have to use multiple Ifs I have shown an example which can follow and modify as per your need.

This is the code:

{
   "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
   "elmType": "div",
   "txtContent": "@currentField",
   "style": {
      "color": "=if([$Color] == 'Red', 'red', if([$Color] == 'Green', 'green',if([$Color] == 'Blue', 'Blue', if([$Color] == 'Yellow', 'Yellow', 'Orange'))))"
   }
}

Hope this helps mark the response appropriately if it helps to solve your problem.
