Google-sheets – Date Formatting for Deadlines

Yes.

Use Conditional Formatting with three rules: (Format -> Conditional formatting)

1. "Date is before" "in the past week" -> red
2. "Date is after" in the past week" -> green
3. "Date is" "in the past week" -> orange

This will colour all dates more than a week away in green, all dates coming in the next week orange and the remainder of the dates in red. Empty cells will be left alone.

Here is what you can do:

1. RightClick B2 → select Conditional formatting → select Custom Formula is (from the List)
2. Enter the following formula in the textbox: =b2>=c2
3. Check the Background Color and select green color
4. Click on Add another rule
5. Select Custom Formula is (from the List)
6. Enter the following formula in the textbox: =b2<c2
7. Check the Background Color and select red color
8. Click on Save Rules
9. Highlight B2 and click on Paint Format option on the tool bar.
10. Now click on cell B3 and drag until cell - B117 (this should apply the conditional formatting on cell ranging from B3-B117)

And for your second condition (i.e., to highlight D with green if it is greater than or equal to E, red if it is less than E) - simply repeat the above steps by interchanging D2 for B2 and E2 for C2.
