Need to find is value is between multiple ranges

[Ronnie12345]

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.

3	15/02/2020	23/02/2020		21/01/2020	FALSE
4	4/04/2020	19/04/2020		1/11/2020	TRUE

Brilliant, that works perfectly.Thank you.
What if I wanted to return a value in a third column, e.g. 03/01/2020 would return Christmas Holiday...

01/01/2020 05/01/2020 Christmas Holiday
15/02/2020 23/02/2020 February Half-Term
04/04/2020 19/04/2020 Easter Holiday
23/05/2020 31/05/2020 Spring Half-Term
21/07/2020 30/08/2020 Summer Holiday
24/10/2020 01/11/2020 November Half-term
19/12/2020 31/12/2020 Christmas Holiday

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:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E	F
1				3-1-2020	1	Christmas Holiday
2	1-1-2020	5-1-2020	Christmas Holiday
3	15-2-2020	23-2-2020	February Half-Term
4	4-4-2020	19-4-2020	Easter Holiday
5	23-5-2020	31-5-2020	Spring Half-Term
6	21-7-2020	30-8-2020	Summer Holiday
7	24-10-2020	1-11-2020	November Half-term
8	19-12-2020	31-12-2020	Christmas Holiday

With Peter_SSs suggestion (make sure you check his assumption of chronologically sorted dates)

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

Excel Workbook
	A	B	C	D	E
1	Start	End		Date	In Holiday?
2	1/01/2020	5/01/2020	Christmas Holiday	3/01/2020	Christmas Holiday
3	15/02/2020	23/02/2020	February Half-Term	21/01/2020	No holiday
4	4/04/2020	19/04/2020	Easter Holiday	1/11/2020	November Half-term
5	23/05/2020	31/05/2020	Spring Half-Term
6	21/07/2020	30/08/2020	Summer Holiday
7	24/10/2020	1/11/2020	November Half-term
8	19/12/2020	31/12/2020	Christmas Holiday
