In adding that new column why does it disable the status column then? Do I
need to change something in my formula?

This may or may not be possible for you but I would just insert another
column in the sheet to enter the 2nd date. That way you would not be
affecting the formulas as you have outlined. This column would only have
date data in it if that particular entry was 'Late'

I am working on a microsft excel spreadsheet for my boss( excel 2000). We are
working on a spreadsheet dealing with a lot of formulas. I have one column
that tells whether a work is lat eor not. This formula automatically enters "
late" or "on time" which is great, but if a work is late then i must chnage
the date in one of the columns so I know the actual due date. The problem is
the column I must change the due date is one of the ones in the formula for
the status column and when I change that date for our records it
automatically changes the work to on time when in reality it wasn't. I was
wondering if there is any way that after I enter that inital date if I can
get the status to stay at either "late" or "on time" and it will not chnage
when I change the new due date. Is there a way I can adjust the formula to
this?
This is the formula I am using for the status =IF(TODAY()<=L75, "On
Time","Late"). This is the formula for the due date =W75-4. Please help if
you can!
