Hi,
this is called Conditional Formatting.
click on "Conditional Formatting" icon and then "Highlight Cells Rules" and enter the data.

Vangogh34,

Thanks, that was very helpful. This works when you input a value into cell B1 with a set criteria linking cell A1. However, what happens if the date in A1 is...say, 03/01/09, and this date is over 30 days from the system date...so cell B1 is triggered (changing color) as a reminder to the user to follow-up. Is a code required for this?

Put this formula on A1 cell so if it will be delay more than 30 days from today's data. A1 cell will be highlighted and no need to create an extra cell ...

Put below formula in conditional formatting when you are in Cell A1.

=(A1+30)<TODAY()
