I have 2 columns, ADM and DISC. These are both date fields in the format of
6/20/2006.

In a column next to these 2 columns, I want to create a formula that will
check the difference between the 2 dates. If the date difference reaches 30
days, I would like for it to place a 1 in there, otherwise, nothing. I've had
problems trying to create the if statement, but have had no sucess in doing
it...can someone help me.

Thank you

try
=if(a3-a2)=30,1,"not one")

Thank you

metaltecks,

You should be able to structure your function as follows

=if((B1-A1)30,1,"")

Where B1 & A1 are your current columns

Steve

You do not state which is always the larger. I will assume second column (B)
=IF(B2-A2=30, 1, "")
If either can be the greater
=IF(ABS(B2-A2)=30, 1, "")
Sometimes (but apparently not here), Excel will automatically format a cell
for dates when it contains a formula uses dates - just format as General if
this happens
best wishes

Hi metaltechs,

Try something like this

=IF(B1-A1=30,1,"") , if more that 30 then "30"

Change format of C1 to number
