Excelchat Expert

I think, something went wrong, while pasting the data info earlier.
Excelchat Expert
08/08/2018 - 11:17
Ok.
Excelchat Expert
08/08/2018 - 11:18
In that case, i have to apply formula to calculate the number of days from today().
Excelchat Expert
08/08/2018 - 11:25
What about after 90 days till one year? I hope, you have to consider it after 90 days
Excelchat Expert

Then, you can apply 3 point scale.
