I want to create a RAG system in google sheets based on dates in a cell. Column A will show a date when someone is trained on a topic and column B shows the due refresher date (3 years later). I want to set up a RAG system so that column B will show green if the dates are within 2 years from the training date, amber when there is one year left before the refresher is due and red when the refresher period has passed.

Try these conditional formatting custom formula rules for the range B2:B
:
green: =today() <= B2 - 2 * 365
yellow: =today() <= B2 - 365
orange: =today() <= B2
red: =len(B2) * (today() >= B2)

Consider sharing a publicly editable sample spreadsheet with realistic-looking data, and showing your hand-entered expected results there. May 4, 2021 at 12:39
