You should find this rather unimpressive offering...

|
| 3) | Use a function to calculate today's date in the highlighted cell. This will ensure that this spreadsheet will always reflect the current date. |
| 4) | Use whichever method you prefer to calculate the remaining dates, based upon today's. |
| 5) | Apply a custom format to give a more descriptive date. |
| 6) | Apply conditional formatting to highlight This Week / Last Week / Next Week. |
This is what you are aiming towards.
|
|
| 7) | When finished, save this as Dates Formatted. |
