I have a formula to show when a given date was in the past and how long ago it was but I need it to display when a date is in the future as well rather than returning #NUM, if possible just saying "Future" would be fine. The formula I'm using is

=LOOKUP(DATEDIF(H2,TODAY(),"m"),{0,3,6,12},{"Current","3 month","6 month","12 months"})

Does it just need another IF statement or an ELSE for future dates?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(DATEDIF(H2,TODAY(),"m"),{0,3,6,12},{"Current","3 month","6 month","12 months"}),"Future")
