Answer: Minimum Date Greater than Today()
To find the first date in a range that is greater than or equal to today's date, you can use the following formula:
- =MIN(IF(A1:A240=TODAY(),A1:A240))
This is an array formula, so you will need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter to enter it into the cell.
Here's how the formula works:
- The IF function checks each cell in the range A1:A240 to see if it is greater than or equal to today's date. If it is, it returns the value of the cell. If it isn't, it returns FALSE.
- The MIN function then finds the minimum value in the array of values returned by the IF function. This will be the first date in the range that is greater than or equal to today's date.
- The formula will stop evaluating at the first TRUE result because the MIN function only looks at the values in the array that are greater than or equal to today's date.
Note that if there are no dates in the range that are greater than or equal to today's date, the formula will return a #NUM! error. To avoid this, you can wrap the formula in an IFERROR function:
Formula:
=IFERROR(MIN(IF(A1:A240=TODAY(),A1:A240)),"No dates found")
