Hi all,

I'm new here but have been working on a spreadsheet to help me with managing a new client list over the past few days and have found this forum so helpful.

I have imagined a formula in my head that I'd find really helpful to use but I'm not sure how to go about it.

In column F, I have calculated a deadline day for filing accounts. In column G, I'd like to have a formula that picks out how many days or months between that deadline and today, and shows up as "Due in X days or X months" - Is this possible? I've done one I found on here for deadlines in the current month, so it shows "due this month" but I'm not sure how to go about this one.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

For dates due next month, I would love for the formula to say "Due next month" as opposed to due in X months if possible!

how about
=DATEDIF(TODAY(),F2,"y")&" years, "&DATEDIF(TODAY(),F2,"ym")&" months, " &DATEDIF(TODAY(),F2,"md")&" days"

Get days, months, and years between dates

To calculate and display the time between two dates in days, months, and years, you can use a formula based on the DATEDIF function. In the example shown, the formula in E5 is: =DATEDIF(B5,C5,"y")&" years, "&DATEDIF(B5,C5,"ym")&" months, " &DATEDIF(B5,C5,"md")&" days" where start dates are in...

You are so helpful, thank you for this! I don't mind whole months for the text, so if something is due on 1 August and today is 25 July, I would be happy for it to say "due next month" which would change to "this month" once in August if this makes sense? This spreadsheet is going to help so much with managing my portfolio, so thank you for your help so far, it is really appreciated!

can we have some more examples , so i can see what you want for each month

as we are in JULY ,
any date in F with a July date is "this Month"
any date in F with a August date is "Due next Month"
Sept - due in 2 months or X days
Oct - due in 3 months or X days

will the dates entered include Next year
July-25 ???

=IF(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH(F2),"Due This Month",IF(MONTH(F2)-MONTH(TODAY())=1,"Due Next Month",f2-today()))

BUT , as you can see does not include the year column J

I've tried to snip my spreadsheet to show the example of what I'm doing on this section - I've got the year end date which is unique to each client, and then filing deadline which is a basic formula adding 9 months to the date in column D. Then I have your formula showing the number of years/months/days to the deadline.

Ideally, in column G, I would like a formula like those you have posted above to say "due this month/due next month/due in x months" - I don't mind not having one for next year as the months will be helpful for that and it will never be much more than a year anyway.

I hope this makes sense!

Thank you

EDIT maybe NOT , as 1 month , should be 2 months - i'll think

does that work , if not over a year then it wont work as Aug 2024 and Aug 2025 will still be seen as month 8 and so say 'Due this Month"

how about

I feel this is way overcomplicated
