Using less than "<" in formula
I'm trying to use a formula in one worksheet that draws data from two other
worksheet. I have no problem using the "" in formulas, but when I use the "<" it won't work. My formula is =if(ust!i9="m9", if(rawdata!r2"<05may08",ust!$b12," ") It has issues with the date. I tried using AND in the formula but it error'd on the date. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Using less than "<" in formula
Take the < symbol out of the quotes. And "05may08" is not a date. Put the
date in a cell and reference the cell. HTH Otto "Bernie R" <Bernie wrote in message ... I'm trying to use a formula in one worksheet that draws data from two other worksheet.

Using less than "<" in formula
DATEVALUE("05MAY08") will convert that text to a valid excel date

Using less than "<" in formula
I would use an unambiguous date format:
=if(ust!i9="m9",if(rawdata!r2<date(2008,5,5),ust!$ b12,"") And I'd return an empty string "" instead of " ".
