Date diff with multiple conditions

Hi,

Currently I am computing the date difference in days using this formula (which works): =if(and(ISNUMBER(W2),ISNUMBER(H2)),W2-R2,"")

However, I would like to restrain the output and only consider values between 5 and 150.
So I would like the function to say If W2 isnumber and if H2 isnumber then, W2 - R2, "" and if W2 - R2 isnot between 5 and 150 range, ""

I tried various tweak but I did not manage to get it right, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
Welcome to the forum!

Maybe:
=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(W2),ISNUMBER(H2)),IF(OR(W2-R2<5,W2-R2>150),"",W2-R2),"")

Or slightly shorter:
=IF(COUNT(W2,H2)=2,IF(OR(W2-R2<5,W2-R2>150),"",W2-R2),"")

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, it works! Instead of the 'OR' I had 'and', and forgot the "" in the end.
Thanks a lot,
Cheers

Hi there,

Just curious, why not check if R2 is a number?

Hi,
I believe it was a mistake. The formula works, but I changed R2 to H2. You are right the first two cells verified as Isnumber should be the one used afterwards.

Hi, you could do it with AND() by switching the equality tests - and thinking about it, you could do away with the nested IF() - not that it saves that much.

=IF(AND(COUNT(W2,R2)=2,W2-R2>=5,W2-R2<=150),W2-R2,"")
