I need to color code column "d" based off several rules: if the date in column "c" is within 90 days of today it is one color, if it is 90>today>=120 it is color 2, if it is 120>today>=180 it is color 3, if it is 180>today>=210 it is color 4, if it is today>210 days it is color 5. I have gotten the formula to work, however I cannot get it to work for each date. I.E. d2 works based off c2 but i cannot get that rule to apply as d3 to c3 and so on. I have 800 lines and don't want to type out 5 rules 800 times
