Hi,

I currently use the following formula which works well and produces the text either "Due" or "Overdue" if no payment has been entered into that cell for the current Month. If payment is not received anytime between the first and last day of the month "Due" appears, this changes to "Overdue" if payment is not recorded when the next/later months are reached. Conditional formatting shows "Due" in Orange and "Overdue" in red. All good so far.


=IF(MONTH(TODAY())>MONTH($P$5),"Overdue",IF(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH($P$5),"Due",""))

However I would like to add the number of days an from which payment was due or overdue, thus instead of saying simply "Due it would for example say Due 10 days ago, or "Overdue 35 days".


Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
Sorry I should have added that cell P5 contains the date ie 01/05/18 (1st May 2018) the next column at cell R5 the following month and so forth...

Something like

=IF(MONTH(TODAY())>MONTH($P$5),"Overdue "&TODAY()-EOMONTH($P$5)&" days",IF(MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH($P$5),"Due "&TODAY()-$P$5&" days ago",""))

Hi WaterGypsy,

This didn't work.

As it returned "to many arguments". When I removed the ) before &" days" this resulted in False.
