There is not a specific "between" function, as it is created using the
structu
AND(x=0,x<=5)
This structure checks for x between (inclusive) 0 and 5.

Trying to guess what your going for, add an additional conditional in the
AND functions I listed, such as:
AND(...,M7240,M7<270)

Luke,

Thanks for your help so far.
You are right, I was just using random data.

Does excel have the ability to use a between function? I am trying to
finish the formula off so just that bit left to do:

=OR(AND(DATEDIF($C$7,TODAY(),"m")<3,M7240),
AND(DATEDIF($C$7,TODAY(),"m")3,M7203),AND(DATEDI F($C$7,TODAY(),"m")3,M7190))

The second IF criteria needs to be between 4-6 months.

Thanks,
WA

Note that the formula I gave is just for condition 1. You still have 2 other
conditions for which you could create similar formulas. (note that with your
example, green will never happen, as anything less than 200 is also less than
240)

Jim Thomlinson has also provided a suggestion for dealing with long lists of
possible criteria.

Hello,

Thanks for your help however I forgot to add that I want to change the cell
to a more colors if a different set of criteria is met.
So if it length in months was 0-2 months and value of cell a10 is less than
240 then amber and if length is 0-2 months again and a10 is under 200 then
green?

Select A10. Under conditional formatting, first conditions, change first box
to "formula is:". Input this:
=OR(AND(DATEDIF($A$4,TODAY(),"m")<3,A10240),AND(D ATEDIF($A$4,TODAY(),"m")=3,A10200),AND(DATEDIF($A $4,TODAY(),"m")3,A10190))
Format with red pattern.

Note that this breaks down into 3 OR functions (rewritten for clarity):
=OR(
AND(DATEDIF($A$4,TODAY(),"m")<3,A10240),
AND(DATEDIF($A$4,TODAY(),"m")=3,A10200),
AND(DATEDIF($A$4,TODAY(),"m")3,A10190)
)

Hello,

I am trying to create a formula within excel 2003 which will format a cell
depending on whether the criteria is met.
So for example, I want to use cell a4, that contains a date value to
calculate length in months using todays date then dependent on that outcome,
turn cell a10 red, if the length of months is 0-2 and value of cell a10 is
more than 240. if length is 3 months then turn red if more than 200 and if
length is greater than 3 months, turn red if more than 190 and so on..

Im thinking this requires some VB scripting to work?

There could be an easier way to do this.
Thanks,
WA
