Set Priority Status Based on Date with Automations

Hi everyone!

Kindda urgent. :slight_smile:

What formula should I use to set a priority if there is only “specific” number of days remaining before the deadline? I wanted to do 3 levels of prioritys. high, medium and low.
I wanted to have the priority column be based on the timeline column i set.
What column should I need to create?
What priority formula should I use?

Thansk for all the help.

Hello and welcome to the Monday community!

There are lots of different ways to accomplish this but based on your use case, here is the simplest way I can think of:

Minimum Columns:

Status Column = Priority Levels
Date Column = Deadline Date

Automation

When date arrives and at status is something change it to something else

You will want to set up 2-3 automations like this for your priority levels. For example, here is one that sets the priority level when only 1 day is left before the deadline:


The “1 day before” can be changed however you need, so if you want to set High to 3 days before, Medium to 6 days before etc. Its fully customizable.

I said 2-3 automations, because you could just set every new item to be default Low Priority and then only have the priority change once the date gets closer.

Hope this helps!
