creating an If function using dates Solved/Closed

Question

Hello
I am trying to formulate an if function, should the date in the cell be less than six months old from today's date the font is red, should the date in the cell be older than six months then the  font is green.  If you have any ideas, it would be much appreciated.  I am trying to organize orders for staff, arranged alphabetically, so thought a filter may make me miss some orders.  Any ideas would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Dawn

Hi Dawn 

Hopefully I have understood your question, the dates are going forward from today is that correct! 
For the conditional formatting rules. 

Assuming your data is in column A, select column A, conditional formatting. 

A: If date is less then today + 6 months. In other words: Between today and today plus 6 months. 
=AND($A1>=TODAY(),$A1<=EDATE(TODAY(),6)) 
Apply the format for your font.

B: The date in column A is greater then today + 6 months. 
=AND($A1>EDATE(TODAY(),6)) 
Apply the format for your font.

If it is the other way from today the the formulas will have to be adapted.
