Conditional Formatting Formula with Cell Reference

Question

This formula gives me an error and I can't figure out what's seems to be wrong

=AND(H3>TODAY()+$J$*30,H3<=TODAY()+$L$1*30)

But if I hardcode the days like this then it works:

==AND(H3>TODAY()+30,H3<=TODAY()+90)

I'm trying to highlight range of cells from today + # of month to today + # of month.

For example, Today+30, Today+90 should highlight Aug, Sept and Oct. (Assuming today is July something)

Answer 1

I believe the error lays here, $J$ . Change that to a cell $J$1

=AND(H3>TODAY()+$J$1*30,H3<=TODAY()+$L$1*30)

If your goal is to see if H3 is today plus n months, you should look into EDATE . Maybe you can change around your formula to not work with these 30 and 90 numbers. Unless that's necessary
