I want to use Excel table to track deadlines. I wrote various dates in different rows. Each row needs to show a marker or color change indicating the next month's deadline, starting from the following month. For instance; Row 1: 20/08/2024 – should have an indicator for 20/09/2024 onward. Row 2: 18/09/2024 – should have an indicator for 18/10/2024 onward. Could you please explain how to do it?

Added the format for the cells at the bottom, just remove the parentheses.
Column C is set for dates and column D for numbers without decimals.
Highlight column D and go to conditional formatting, choose a new rule, and format all cells according to their values.
For type select number, minimum value is 29 in green and maximum is 30 in red.
To get the current date, use =TODAY() in the cell.

Excel: The main subject is "Conditional Formatting". You set conditions that evaluate dates, and if the gap between them exceeds or equals 30 days, you alter the cell's color or font in the relevant column. Conduct some tests; if unsuccessful, share the rules you're attempting to implement along with the requirements. Begin here (randomly selected from numerous online links and tutorials available.) https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-b...ormatting/

Highlight column D and apply conditional formatting, choosing a new rule and setting all cells to match their values.
For type, select number.
Minimum value: 29 in green, maximum value: 30 in red.
