Excel xp traffic light system - Conditional formatting.

Hi could someone please help.

I need to be able to colour a cell called status red amber or green depending on the time taken from date due to date completed.

To simplify the idea i have 4 cells in a row, A1 being the due date, B1 being the revised date, C1 being the completed date and D1 being the status cell (Green, Amber, Red, Green depending on status)

So a Due date is input into cell A1 and D1 will be green to start.(Colour cell D4 green and text GREEN)

If 7 days past the due date A1 will turn amber (Colour cell D1 yellow and text AMBER)

If past 7 days of the due date A1 then D1 turns to status red (colour cell D1 red and text RED)

If a revised date is input into cell B1 then D1 status should be reset to correspond to the conditions above again within 7 days or beyond.

When a date or the word completed is input into cell C1 then D1 should change to colour green and text green.

Can this be done with simple code using IF's and conditional formatting, any help appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Stephen
