This is probable very simple and I am just overlooking it. But can some tell
me how to find out if a date range falls between or overlaps another date
range?? Tab 1 contains start and stop vacation dates, tab 2 contains start
and stop blackout dates. I need to list on Tab C2 if the persons vacation is
in a blackout date or not.

Tab1
A B
1 Start End
2 1/1/08 5/1/08
3 2/1/08 2/30/08

Tab2
A B
1 Start End
2 2/1/08 6/1/08
3 2/1/08 2/30/08


Thanks in advance€¦.

I'm assming you want to compa

1/1/08 - 5/1/08 to 2/1/08 - 6/1/08
2/1/08 - 2/30/08 to 2/1/08 - 2/30/08

On Sheet2:

=MAX(0,MIN(B1,Sheet1!B1)-MAX(A1,Sheet1!A1)+1)0

Copy down as needed.

I'm sorry this was unclear I was unsure of how to explain what I need to find
out is if 1/1/08 €“ 5/1/08 (my vacation) falls anywhere within the dates of
2/1/08 - 6/1/08 (Blackout date 1) it would, so this would be a yes and
2/1/08-2/30/08 (another vacation) also falls within the 1/1/08-5/1/08
(Blackout date 1) dates so it would also be a yes on the other hand
5/2/08-6/2/08 (another vacation) would not so it would be a no.

Thanks for the Help

Thanks in advance..

Aside from the typo in the date (2/30/08) I think what I suggested does what
you asked for (although the formula returns TRUE or FALSE rather than yes or
no) but I'm confused.

From this most recent reply you want to compa

.........Sheet1...................Sheet2.......
1/1/08 - 5/1/08........2/1/08 - 6/1/08
2/1/08 - 2/30/08......2/1/08 - 6/1/08

Why are there 2 sets of dates on sheet2?

I'm *really* confused!
