Hi,
I’ve added a column of when the task was completed. What formula would I use to have it shown in the Days Left column that it has been completed - and is not overdue etc.

Is it only limited to these colors? I tried using orange but it doesn't seem to work. Thank you!

[thelms]

Is there a way to add to the formula if the task is completed ?

i did everything correctly but for some reason when something is overdue it shows red but as dashes. it does not say the days overdue. The rest shows the days left fine for blue and green with words but not the red. Please help.
