How can I filter for Birthdays/Anniversaries in Excell?
 

what if the dates in column A are stored as text in the YYYYMMDD format?

birthdays that occur in the next 14-21 days so we can mail cards. Is there a
way to do this?

How about this. Assume the birthdays are in column A in date format such as
9/23/1950. Then create a second column B where

B1 = if(mod(days360(today(),A1),360) < 21,"Send Card!","")

Then just copy that all the way down the B column.

Good luck...

Hi Woodkat

Something along the lines of
=IF(AND(DATE(2004,MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))TODAY() +14,DATE(2004,MID(A1,5,2),RIGHT(A1,2))<TODAY()+21) ,"card","")

Cheers

Hi
try to convert them first to a real Excel date. e.g. with the formula
=--TEXT(A1,"0000-00-00")
format this cell as date and copy for all rows. Now use this helper
column
