Assuming these cells are really dates and by 'ends in' you mean 'is in the
year', then you would do something like =if(year(a1)=2005,true_value,false_value). If they're really strings that end in 2005, then =if(right(a1,4)="2005",true_value,false_value) "Mike" wrote: How do I use an "IF" function involving dates.

Thank You so much I have been trying to figure out that formula on and off
for weeks. Do You work for Microsoft or do you just provide free advice to people?

Maybe you can help. Saw this and this is my question.
I have a date say 1/1/2005 in say cell J7; I want to write an if formula that says if J7 is less than 7/1/2006 then it returns "expired" and if not it returns "current" Thanks "bpeltzer" wrote: Assuming these cells are really dates and by 'ends in' you mean 'is in the year', then you would do something like =if(year(a1)=2005,true_value,false_value).

Try this =IF(J7="","",IF(J7<"7/1/2006"+0,"expired","current")) -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498736 |

That works! Thanks so much but could you tell me why you couldn't simply say
=if (J7 < 7/1/2006, "expired", "current") "daddylonglegs" wrote: Try this =IF(J7="","",IF(J7<"7/1/2006"+0,"expired","current")) -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=498736 |

7/1/2006 = 7 divided by 1 divided by 2006 (=0.00349). It's not a date.
By using date(2006,7,1) or having excel coerce the text "7/1/2006" (with +0) to a date, the formula could evaluate the way you want. Woodloch wrote: That works!
