I've been trying to combine the following two formulas with no luck.

=IF(AND(E25<DATE(YEAR(1989),7,1),R41+S41-T41200),200,R41+S41-T41)
and
=IF(AND(E25DATE(YEAR(1989),7,1),R41+S41-T41120),120,R41+S41-T41)

What I need is a formula that says IF E25(a hiring date) was before July
1,1989, a maxium of 200 can be placed in the cell, but, if E25 was after July
1,1989 only a maxium can be placed in the cell, if the maxiums have not been
reached, then R41+S41-T41.

I've tried this several ways, but every time I do, and when I test different
hiring dates, i keep getting the wrong results. Thanks for looking at this
one, in advance....Ben

If you put =year(1989) in a cell, you'll see that you don't get 1989 back.
Excel sees that 1989 as the number of days from a base date (Dec 31, 1899 for
most wintel users).

So you'll see 1905 returned (1989 days past 12/31/1899).

So maybe just removing those year()'s would fix it:

=IF(AND(E25<DATE(1989,7,1),R41+S41-T41200),200,R41+S41-T41)

Thanks Dave. Didn't even catch it. I modified it and it works great.
Thanks again....Ben

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS FIRST ADD A NEW COLUMN TO YOUR SPREADSHEET THAT
CALCULATES THE R41+S41-T41 AS FOLLOWS:-

=IF(R41+S41-T41200,200,R41+S41-T41) WE WILL CALL THIS NEW CELL F1

NOW REVISE YOUR FORMULA TO THE FOLLOWING:-

=IF(E25<DATE(1998,6,30),IF(E25DATE(1998,1,7),200) ,F1)

THIS SHOULD WORK
