    The common answer to this type of request is to use Conditional Formatting. One typical formula is

    =AND(A1<TODAY()+60,A1>=TODAY()+30)

    which will flag items due 30 to 60 days from today. There are similar formulas which will flag items based on how past due they are.

    The more details you provide, the more specific our answers can be.
