Dear GoBLue,
What version of what spreadsheet? Conditional formatting depends on the software being used. Please let us know what spreadsheet software you are using.
Have you read the tutorial on Conditional formatting?

I am using Excel 2010.
Yes because of how I need this to work. I need to the spreed sheet to read the current date (=today()) then look at my list and any date on the list that is 9 months out turn Orange or Red when 11 months out.
I.E.
Josh 1-JAN-13
Tim 20-MAY-13
Anna 15-FEB-13
On November 1st, I would need Josh to turn Orange , on December 1st Josh would need to go Red and Anna would need to be Orange. So I need to wrtie a formula that has a cell read the date cell and calculate it to see how many months out is the date and then condintional formatting turn it a color.
Hope this is making sense and that I'm explaining what I need....

Ok, well I hope this isn't for school as a project.....
So, to get the difference in dates, you would use something like...
Assuming Today is in A1 and your checking SIGN ON DATE of "E3". Both cells formatted as dates.
Cell A2=MONTH(A1)-MONTH(E3)
Then, if you name was in cell F3- you would start a conditional format that says.....
"Formula: =$A$2<3 SOME ORANGE FORMATTING"
"Formula: =$A$2<=1 SOME RED FORMATTING"
I hope this helps.
