Color scale for dates in table

Hi - 

Is there a way to apply Conditional colors by creating a table based on the age of a record?

 

Example:  a record was:

 

Updated last 7 days - green

Last update 8-30 days - yellow

Last update >=30 days - red 

 

In this case - I have a column actually titled "last updated" which refers to a the current status of a record / line item of a table.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's possible to conditionally format on the date field itself, but if you create a custom column Age = INT(TODAY()-[your last update column]), it should give you a value as an integer which you can then conditionally format based on the rules you have

You cannot apply conditional formatting on Date fields. It only applys for calculated values. You may better follow the post by @jthomson and then apply color formatting.
