Default IF month and day match, then...

Quick update: How would I modify the formula to include other dates? I
tried the following but get an #VALUE! error:
=IF(TEXT(C8,"MMDD")=OR("1031","0115","0417"),"text ","")

Try something like this:
=IF(TEXT(C8,"MMDD")="1026","text","no match")

The reason this doesn't work: =IF(C8=AND(MONTH(10),DAY(26)),"text")
is that the AND() function regards any positive value as TRUE.
Since MONTH(10) is greater than 0 and DAY(26) is greater than 0,
then AND(MONTH(10),DAY(26)) returns TRUE


Is that something you can work with?

Hi everyone. Simple question...how would I correct my formula such that if
the date in C8 is a certain date (regardless of the year!), then... The
formula I tried is: =IF(C8=AND(MONTH(10),DAY(26)),"text") where
C8=TODAY(). When I click on the AND in the wizard it says both statements
are TRUE but if I click before the AND, it says FALSE.

Alternatively, I also tried: =IF(TODAY()=AND(MONTH(10),DAY(26)),"text").
However in the wizard, the result is "Volatile" and the cell displays FALSE.
