Hi:

I am trying to write an if formula that if B2 is equal to a specific date
in
a range of dates then it is the end of a pay period, if B2 is equal to a
date
in a second range of dates then it state pay day.

I have set up two tables with dates. One has pay period ending dates and
the
other table has pay day dates.

I keep getting a Value error.

Please help.
