Conditional formatting for a date being 30, 90, 183 days out from today

Hello! I'm trying to create a conditional formatting rule for upcoming renewal dates for my client accounts. I am trying to track if dates are 30 days, 90 days, or 183 days out from the renewal based on today's date and then color coding it accordingly (183 days = green, 90 day = yellow, 30 days = red) but I'm having trouble translating it in a formula. 

The dates are in column B and this is what I've tried:
  • apply to range B2:B100 
  • selected "format cells if less than or equal to" 
  • The formula I have been trying is: =B2>TODAY()-90
  • select green, yellow, or red based on the formula rule

Hi, DaniC.,
 
You almost had it! You can use the following conditional formatting rule for this:
Apply To Range: B2:B
Format Cells If: Less than or equal to
Custom Formula Is=TODAY()+30
Formatting Style: Dealer's choice
 
The above rule will work for anything that is 30 or less days after today. For other timeframes, just change the "30" in the formula.

Hope this helps!
