Using Dates with true and false statements
I have a spreadsheet that has a column that contains the date a particular
item was shipped. I want to be able to identify (not with colours) those rows in which todays date minus the date in the cell is greater then 5 days. If so, I want to enter the value "Yes" in another column (title of column is Overdue because its been greater then 5 days). I have used: =IF(TODAY()-AI45,"Yes","") The problem is, if the date column is blank, it still returns a Yes value. How can I avoid this? I want it to either remain blank, or state No. Help! |

Using Dates with true and false statements
Sorry...I forgot one piece of my question....
let me try again. I have a date value in Colum AI.... I have another column with another date in Column AK. If today minus the the date in Column AI is 5 and Column AK is blank - then return Yes in the Overdue Column (Column AO). Is this doable?

Using Dates with true and false statements
Sorry, I posted the second half of my question in an additional post right
under the original. Is there a way that I can take this formula one step further to say: If Today minus AI4 is 5 and column AK is blank....then return a Yes in the Overdue Column?

Using Dates with true and false statements
This works perfectly except for one scenario: - if column AI or AK are blank....it still shows as a YES. Shouldn't it show blank unless dates are entered?
