** In column B, I used data validation to create a list: 1, 2, 3




Sheet1 defines start and end date for each block. In column B of Sheet2, I'm hoping to generate either 1, 2, or 3 depending on the date entered in column D of Sheet2. So B1 would be 1, B2 would be 3, and B3 would be 2.

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you in advance :)

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Try this in the B column and fill down. I made the assumption that (a) everything was on one sheet (adjust accordingly) and (b) the blocks are in the range A1 to C3.

Code:
=IF(AND(D6>=$A$2,D6<=$A$3),1,IF(AND(D6>=$B$2,D6<=$B$3),2,IF(AND(D6>=$C$2,D6<=$C$3),3,"??")))

Copy and paste this macro into the worksheet code module. Do the following: right click the tab name for your Sheet2 and click 'View Code'. Paste the macro into the empty code window that opens up. Close the code window to return to your sheet. Enter a date in column D and press the RETURN key.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Intersect(Target, Range("D:D")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    Dim srcWS As Worksheet, x As Long
    Set srcWS = Sheets("Sheet1")
    For x = 1 To 3
        With srcWS
            If Target >= .Cells(2, x) And Target <= .Cells(3, x) Then
                Target.Offset(0, -2) = x
            End If
        End With
    Next x
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
End Sub
