On an Excel spreadsheet, I have numerous columns with dates. How do I write
the formula so that if the dates in Column I OR Column L are before today's
date, it will default to "x" in column C? If the dates in BOTH columns are
after today's date, I want it to default to "a" in column C. Thanks in
advance.

Have a look in HELP index for using IF in a formula
