Forget the below! Had a Doh! moment. Users were entering a space after the
word Sent and therefore excel didn't recognise it as a condition for the
formula!

I am trying to create a conditional formula where if a certain time

not met, the next cell to the right comes up 'Due'. To the right of the
Due
column is a 'Sent' column for users to enter that a reminder email that
their
task is overdue. When Sent is entered into the cell, I need the Due to be
removed.

Currently, I have;

IF(AND(G3<NOW(),I3="Sent"),"Due","")

where column G contains the time and date and column I is the Sent
column.
If I remove the ,I3="Sent" section, 'Due' works but is not removed when
Sent
is entered (obviously because I haven't told it too!) but when I include
the
extra section, it doesn't work at all!

Please can someone advise?
