Modify Row & Cell Contents based upon Cells Values
 

Hello all. What I'm Looking to do is the following:

-- Retrieve the date from cell $B2.
-- Read the value in $K2.

If $B2's date is older than 14 regular days, not just business, AND the
value of $K2 is "Awaiting Pickup" then I want the row to change to a red
color, and the value of $A2 to change to: "[!]".

So I thought I could do it with an =IF(AND(), $A2='[!]', $A2='')
statement. What I tried to use was the following:


Code:
--------------------

=IF(AND((TODAY()-14)DATEVALUE($B2), $K2="Awaiting Pickup"), $A2="[!]", $A2="")

--------------------


I figured that would have worked since the function help that MS gives
is:

=IF(*test_statement*, *value_if_true*, value_if_false)

Where did I go wrong, and how do I fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First, a formula in one cell can't change the value in another cell.

You could use a formula like that directly in A2 if you wanted:

=IF(AND((TODAY()-14)$B2,$K2="Awaiting Pickup"),"[!]","")

I'm assuming that $B2 actually contains a date. =Datevalue() is nice when you
have text in that cell--not when it's a real dated.

And to show that row in red, you could select row 2 (with A2 active)
and use this formula in the format|conditional formatting "formula is" box:
=$A2="[!]"

If you can't use that long formula in A2, then you could mimic that long formula
in your conditional formatting "formula is" box:

=AND((TODAY()-14)$B2,$K2="Awaiting Pickup")
