Compare two dates - Return an "expired" comment

[Ironman5089]

I am trying to compare the date in D4 with date in N4. If date in D4 is greater than N4, I want a comment "Expired".

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
=IF(D4>N4,"Expired","ok")

Thanks, however this didn't work. I changed the date in D4 to be newer then that in N4 and "Ok" still reads in the cell, when it should read expired.

I am running Office 365 if that makes any difference.

Do you have calculation set to automatic, or manual?

and check if your dates are as text or real excel dates

=ISNUMBER(D4) should be TRUE
=ISNUMBER(N4) should be TRUE
