Default How do I set If Statement to set Priorities, off of dates due?

I am trying to set up If Statements to read dates for several projects and
from those dates set priority levels of A, B, C, etc... Can anyone offer
assistance?

Try something like:

=IF(B1=DATE(2005,1,1),"A",IF(B1=DATE(2005,1,2),"B" ,"C"))

Is there an easy way if you are looking at 30 different projects over the year?

One way:

assuming the due date in A1:

=IF((A1-TODAY())<=0,"HOT",IF((A1-TODAY())=1,"Short-Term","Long-Term"))

If you have more than 3 levels you might want to consider a vlookup table

=VLOOKUP(B1,F3:G8,2)

where for instance F3:F8 would hold the dates and G3:G8 the priority levels
where the table might look like

1/1/2005 A
1/2/2005 B
1/3/2005 C
1/4/2005 D
1/5/2005 E
