Color Coding Dates
I am newer to QB, but have found formulas to be a challenge so far.
I am trying to do simple color coding for dates, for example i have 4 columns of dates, that will be populated through the projec...

no, i am not looking to color individual cells, the whole row is fine. I just can't figure out what the formula should be to make this happen.
so something like this:
if to QC "date populate" = yellow
if returned from QC "date populate" = blue
if to QC 2 "date populate" = green
If returned from QC 2nd "date populated = Red
something like that?

I had
If(
[To QC 1]<(Today()+Days(1)), "yellow",
[Returned QC 1]>(Today()+Days(1)), "blue")
but when i got to the second line, is does not read the 2nd next statement.
I also tried
If( not IsNull([To QC 1]),"yellow",
If( not IsNull([returned QC 1]),"blue"))
but it only reads the "TO QC 1" statement, ignoring the first line.
I know i am likely missing something basic, but again newbie! :)

Qrew LegendThis format will work, just keep adding conditions like that. But it will return the first condition which is true, so think about he order of the steps in your IF
IF(
[To QC 1] < Today()+Days(1), "yellow",
[Returned QC 1] > Today()+Days(1), "blue")

- Right, but i guess that is not what i am trying to get it to do.
Whenever each date is populated i am looking for it to change the color to something different, so i can "see" visably the stage of the project.
So as each date does get populated it would clear the previous color and change to the most recent color instead.

------------------------------oh wait. I re-read what you said about the order! I think i got it!
I need to go right to left, not left to right! I will try!
