So, I have a date&time column in my raw data which I extract daily (the date&time refers to the audit date&time), along with a Feedback Status column(which can have only these three values Accepted/Rejected or Pending) We don't have any date/time for when the feedback was Accepted or Rejected....

I need to create a column for Ontime or Late Feedback acknowledgement where the condition is => if it has been over 48 hours from the Audit date&time and the Feedback Status is "Accepted"or"Rejected" it should return "Late Acknowledgement"; Or if it has been less than 48 hrs from the Audit date&time and the Feedback Status is "Accepted" or "Rejected" it should return "Ontime Acknowledgement"

Actually as it doesn't make a difference if it is accepted or rejected then maybe

Awesome! Thank you so much! I used NOW() - A7 <= 2 for "On Time" and NOW() - A7 >= 2 for "Late Acknowledgement"

Also, if I keep now() in the formula instead of using a refrence cell like you did, will that affect anything or it doesn't matter?

I don't understand with your description in post 1 why you need 2 tests, it is a Boolean answer if it is not Ontime then it is late

Depends how many times you are using the formula. If you are only using the formula once then it makes no big difference (the Now in E3 is just there to show the Date/Time when I posted the screenshot, it isn't used in the formula. Only the =NOW()-2 in D3 is used)
If you are using the formula multiple times then Excel will have to calculate Now() for each individual cell if it is in the formula
