How to add icons to dates

Hello!  I'd like to add basic icons to my due date column, but I'm not sure where to start.

 

My columns I have are: due date, load 1 complete date, load 2 complete date, qa date, delivered date

 

I'd love to have three icons:

- a red circle next to the due date when the date is in the future (wanting to use the today function)

- a yellow circle when the due date is within a week of today

- a green circle when the other 4 columns have a date in them

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I knew I needed conditional formatting, I just don't know what code I should put in a measure to get those icons.  Can you help with that?
