Assuming that the ids are in Column B then try:

=IF(SUMPRODUCT((Hires!B3:B975=B3)*(Hires!E3:E975D 3)),"OK","Not OK")

I have 2 sheets. Sheet #1(Terminted Employees) has employee ids, names,
termination date, etc. Sheet#2 (New Hires) has employee ids, names, hire
date, etc. I will like to compare the dates in the 2 sheets. I need a
formula that will look at the termination date and the hire date. If the
termination date is earlier than the hire date, then it is not Ok. If the
termination date is later, then it is ok. I used the following formula
but
I am not getting the desired result.
=IF(D3<Hires!E$2:E$975, "OK", "Not OK").
The formula is not comparing the same employee on both sheets.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
