Format Rules in Excel?

I'm setting up a spreadsheet which has a date received column and a date acknowledged column. I want the date acknowledged column to highlight red ten days after date received if the date acknowledged cell is blank, but once a date is entered in, it will returns to normal no color.

How might I achieve this?

Assuming your date received column is A and acknowledged is ColumnB, please select Column A and HOME > Styles - Conditional Formatting, New Rule..., Use a formula to determine which cells to format, Format values where this formula is true::

 =AND(ISBLANK(B1),TODAY()>A1+10,A1<>"")  

Format..., Fill, select red, OK, OK.
