    If date of request is less that today + 2 future days, I need my row to be red.  The formula I am using is not working.  Please advise.thx

    If([Date of Request]<[TodayPlus2],"#CC0000","")

    in another formula date field called [TodayPlus2], do the following:

    Today()+Days(2)

    If the date is 2 days or more in the future, it will be the HEX color you pick.

    If([Date of Request]>=(Today()+Days(2)), "#HEX", "")

    Neither of these are working the way I have intended. I probably didn't explain well enough and have come up with something more...

    If my [date of request] is more than 2-5 days prior to today, "yellow",
    If my [date of request] is more than 6-10 days prior to today, "blue",
    If my [date of request] is more than 11 or more days prior to today, "red"

    Thank you for reviewing this again.

    If(
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(1)) AND [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(6)), "yellow",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(5)) AND [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(11)), "blue",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(10)), "red",
    "")

    If(
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(1)) AND [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(6)), "yellow",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(5)) AND [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(11)), "blue",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(10)), "red",
    "")

    Line 2 has alert symbol - the word "AND" is highlighted in yellow and the alert message reads:
    column 36 > Expecting ,

    Thx

    Hi Lynn,

    I have just checked this formula and found the same error which you have mentioned. Try to use in a small case - and not AND. it will work.

    In fact, if you ignore that error and save it then, Quick Base will change it automatically from AND to and.

    If(
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(1)) and [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(6)), "yellow",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(5)) and [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(11)), "blue",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(10)), "red", "")

    I don't know why it is expecting , after the AND. I will report it out separately to the QB Support team about it.

    Thanks,

    Gaurav

    I copied and pasted the formula, however none of the rows are colored.

    Let's try a different approach.  I have calculated the days "overdue" (duration field).  Need a formula for:
    2-5 days overdue, blue
    6-10 days overdue, yellow
    11 or more days overdue, red

    May be your report doesn't have any matching criteria as per condition. Can you please check that. or

    try out this formula.

    If(
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(2)) and [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(5)), "yellow",
    [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(6)) and [Date of Request]<(Today()+Days(10)), "blue", [Date of Request]>(Today()+Days(11)), "red", "")

    Do let me know if this formula works for you.
