need formula to set value based on a date
in column O i have a date in format dd/mm/yy. In column P I want to pu
a formula to say: if O is blank then do nothing if date in O is not in the past then cell value= number of days fro today if date in O IS in the past then cell value = "Expired" I already have conditional formatting set up to colour the cells i based on the date, so now I just need to fill them in. I know its not hugely difficult, I just cant ever get the formulas t work properly hehe Thank -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

seems to be almost right, but its putting a date into P1 instead of th
number of days between today and the date that is in O. Thank -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
