What are the conditions you need
User
21/09/2018 - 10:12
the same conditions that are already existing, but i need the cell to go red even when the date is past due.
User

Right now it will only go red when the date is today or within 3 days, not when it is yesterday and before
User
21/09/2018 - 10:13
So any day before today it also needs to format the cell red in color

It needs the same conditions as what was one there before. BUT I need it to change red before the date of today ALONG with 3 days from today...
User

And when the cell is blank no formatting.

Let me know if this solution is what you need
User

"sept 17" should be in RED because its before today.
Excelchat Expert
21/09/2018 - 10:25
What about the 3 days you said?
User
21/09/2018 - 10:26
I said keep the same conditions that were there before, just make it so the cell turns RED when its before today
User
21/09/2018 - 10:26
Because what it did before, was the formatting was right, but when the date was yesterday or before it would un-format the cells
