software

iI would like to create a training matrix that displays in a traffic light
i.e red = needs retraining. Green= trained. yellow = being trained. Each
cell would change to the required colour by typing R date of training
completed would change this cell from green to red highlighting the need for
retraining. date of training completed = trained but when the date was moor
than 5 years the cell would change to red. BT =for being trained would turn
cell yellow


Using conditional formatting. I set my table up like this.

Column A = Date
Column B = Status Date (Training Status Date)
Column C = Training Completion Status

Then in cell C1 I used the following conditional formattings.1.

Formula Is:

=AND(C2=quot;Tquot;,DATEDIF(B2,A2,quot;Yquot;)lt;5) ----------Format Green

2.

Formula Is:

=OR(C2=quot;Rquot;,DATEDIF(B2,A2,quot;Yquot;)gt;=5) ----------Format Red

3.

Formula Is:

=C2=quot;BTquot; ----------Format YellowHTH

Cheers,
