CAN YOU HELP WITH A FORMULA?
I am trying to ascertain from a list of dates which items need to be done.
Have used the "If" function and embedded the "TODAY" formula within that. I have tried this several ways, but cannot get it to work properly. The formula I have at the moment is =IF(J2<"TODAY","OK",IF(J2="TODAY","DO",IF(J2"TODA Y","DO"))), but whether or not the date is before, after or on today, I get the same answer of "DO." Can you tell me where I'm going wrong? -- MARY |

Nearly there but not quite... OKs are showing fine, but the "DOs" are coming

Sorry if this comes up twice... I thought I had posted a message, but it
does not appear to be showing. Thanks for your help - I am half way there, but am still getting an error message. The "OKs" are coming out alright, but the "DOs" are coming up with a #NAME? error. Any ideas how to resolsve this?
