Hi,

I am making a spreadsheet where I want to note if 2 dates are greater than 7 days. For example:

[TABLE="width: 346"]
<colgroup><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]Received[/TD]
[TD]Type[/TD]
[TD]collected[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2/20/19[/TD]
[TD]swab[/TD]
[TD]15/02/2019[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]21/02/2019[/TD]
[TD]swab[/TD]
[TD]12/02/2019[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I have been using: =IF((A1-C1)>=7, "Old"), and a few other similar but it is not working and it is putting everything as Old.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Use Days() Function. It returns the date into number of days. Then Subtract them and do a logical formula like so.
=IF(DAYS(End_Date,Start_DAte)>7,"Past Seven","")
