Excel - Dates and if statements

Asked By Jade Summers on 19-Jun-12 11:06 AM
Good day!

I have had luck in the past with people helping me with my issue on this
fourm so I am hoping someone here can help me with this I am sure
obvious answer.

I am creating a database at work for expiry of various programs/courses.
I have got that conditional formatting down but I am struggling to make
D2 (if pers has course) change to yes, No, or expired depending on the
dates. I have got it to say yes, and expired but the "No" part when no
date is inserted in column E.

The following is the current IF function I am using in D2:

=IF(E4<=TODAY(),"Expired",IF(E4>=TODAY(),"Yes"))

I see the issue, but I just am not sure how to use multiple IF's, never
works for me.

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Hi,

How about:

=IF(E4="","No",IF(E4<=TODAY(),"Expired",IF(E4>TODAY(),"Yes")))

One thing I will mention is in your original formula you should get rid
of one of the equals.  If you say <=today in one statement then >=today
in the next, there is some overlap and today's date could theoretically
appear in either statement.  I have taken the last equals out in my
suggested formula above as due to the order the second one would be
ignored anyway.

Let me know how this works for you.

S.

It worked!

Thank you both so much for replying so quickly, and for the suggestions.
I think my database is finally ready and my sanity is still intact, with
your help of course :)
