i have a cell that contains a date (A1). this date forms the basis of a
lockup period that can be 2 years, 3 years, or 5 years (entered in B1). the
user will enter a date in the future (in cell C1), and a formula (in D1)
needs to be able to determine whether the funds are available. any help on
the formula would be highly appreciated. thanks!
