Hi excel wizards,

I need to find if dates are in holiday date ranges

For example is 03/01/2020 within the date ranges below.
I could do this with a nested IF statement but I'm determined to evolve beyond that!
Can you suggest a formula to do this, please?

01/01/2020 05/01/2020
15/02/2020 23/02/2020
04/04/2020 19/04/2020
23/05/2020 31/05/2020
21/07/2020 30/08/2020
24/10/2020 01/11/2020
19/12/2020 31/12/2020

Do you need to test each individual pair of dates to see if the date falls between them or just if the date falls between any of those pairs of dates, ie produce 7 results or just the 1 result?

Hi,

Take a look at this. The result of the formula will return the number of the range in which the date falls in between. 0 as a result will mean no range applies.

Since your holidays are listed chronologically throughout the year in columns A:B, you should be able to just use this.
If January 1 was not in a holiday period you would need a slight adjustment but I'm guessing that in your location January 1 will always be a holiday. :beerchug:

Nice one, didn't think of this!

With @Peter_SSs suggestion (make sure you check his assumption of chronologically sorted dates) just change the range in the VLOOKUP.
Following my suggestion:

I did qualify that in my post. ;)


With @jorismoerings latest suggestion note ..

- if you have a column (or row) of dates to check add the absolute reference $ signs on the C2:C8 range in the F1 formula before copying down/across.

- if the date being checked is not in any holiday, the formulas will return "Christmas Holiday"



For my suggestion (same assumption as before), if you want to know which holiday it would be
