How do you write a formula if you have dates in threedifferent columns. I am trying to determine if the ‘Start Date’ is prior to ‘Today’sDate’ and before the ‘End Date’. The reverse is also a concern, if the ‘StartDate’ is after ‘Today’s Date’ and before the ‘End Date’.


I hope this understandable. Thanks in advance.

 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Assuming you wouldn't enter an End Date that's before the Start Date, in D2 and copy down:

Code:
=IF($C$2>B2,"Today is beyond End Date",IF(AND($C$2>=A2,$C$2<=B2),"today is between start and end dates",IF($C$2  <  A2,"today is before start date")))
  <a2,"today is="" before="" start="" date","today="" on="" the="" date")))
</a2,"today>
