Maybe you can help. Saw this and this is my question.

I have a date say 1/1/2005 in say cell J7; I want to write an if formula
that says if J7 is less than 7/1/2006 then it returns "expired" and if not it
returns "current"

Thanks

Assuming these cells are really dates and by 'ends in' you mean 'is in the
year', then you would do something like
=if(year(a1)=2005,true_value,false_value). If they're really strings that
end in 2005, then =if(right(a1,4)="2005",true_value,false_value)

How do I use an "IF" function involving dates. For Example: (IF (a date in
one cell ends in 2005 THEN "x"),IF( a date in one cell ends in 2006 THEN
"Y"), " ")
