Between dates. Two problems
1) I have registered dates in column O and P. The cell format is Date
dd.mm.yyyy in both columns. In a third column (cell format text) I have this formula =IF(O2TODAY();IF(P2<TODAY();"JA";"");"") which I expected to return the text JA if todays date is between the date in column O and P, and blank if it is not. But the formula returns no value at all, only the formula-text. What is wrong? 2) When I try to copy the formula down, O2 and P2 don't change to O3 and P3. The reason is that Excel don't consider the text as a formula, I guess... |

I think you're missing some closing brackets in your formula
The cells should be formatted as General or Number HTH Bob "Obonden" <kjeblo(ęt)frisurf.no wrote in message ... 1) I have registered dates in column O and P.

I have Excel 2003, too, but Norwegian version. The format for the formula
says semi-colons. I get an error-message when I change to comma. "MyVeryOwnSelf" skrev i melding ... 1) I have registered dates in column O and P. The cell format is Date dd.mm.yyyy in both columns.

Thx. I've now solved the problem. Think there must have been an illegal,
hidden symbol in the cell. The formula seems correct (except from the fact that my < and symbols were in the wrong direction :-) Kjell "Bob Alhat" skrev i melding ...
