I need to write a formula which will search a range of cells
containing
dates
and if any of those is greater than todays date less 21 days, then
return
the
text "not due".

This is for a customer data base which has home page showing all
customers,
and subsequent pages for indvidual customers. As contact dates are
added
for
each customer on their own sheets, then the home page should show if
they
are
due (or overdue) for a call
