IF Statement with Date data
Hi
I run Win2k with Excel 2K I would like to have a formula that looks at a range of dates, then determines the "latest" date in that range. Then if that "latest" date is greater than 30 days from the "current" date, display a message "DUE". If your require anymore info please let me know. Thanks John |

Assuming dates are running down in col A
Then in say, B1:=IF(MAX(A:A)<TODAY()-30,"due","") Adapt the range to suit -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "John Calder" wrote: Hi I run Win2k with Excel 2K I would like to have a formula that looks at a range of dates, then determines the "latest" date in that range.

Dates* are just numbers in Excel, so the latest date within a dates range
will be the highest number (ie maximum) within that range. *real dates recognized by Excel, that is -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Thanks If the dates are across columns how would the formula look then?

Typo, line:
Assuming dates are running across in row 2, from B2 across should read as: Assuming dates are running across in row 2, from A2 across -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Thanks again Max
It appears to work ok except for one thing. When I delete all the data from the range the "DUE" still shows? Is there a way I can have the formula cell return to blank when the data has been deleted?

Thanks again Max You're welcome, John It appears to work ok except for one thing. When I delete all the data from the range the "DUE" still shows? Is there a way I can have the formula cell return to blank when the data has been deleted? Just use an IF trap in front, eg in A1: =IF(MAX(2:2)=0,"",IF(MAX(2:2)<TODAY()-30,"DUE","")) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
