Return Reference for date between dates

[neodjandre]

I have this setup

COL A - COL B - COL C
F1 - 01/01/2016 - 31/02/2016
F2 - 01/01/2017 - 31/02/2017
F3 - 01/01/2018 - 31/02/2018
F4 - 01/01/2019 - 31/02/2019

For a specific date that falls within a given period, i wish to return the relevant reference. F1, F2, F3, F4

So e.g. for 30/03/2017 the formula should return F2.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Your values are column C are not valid dates.
Are they supposed to be?
31/12/16
31/12/17
31/12/18
31/12/19

Will the date ranges always be full years, i.e. 01/01/yyyy - 31/12/yyyy?

Lastly, in what row is the first row (F1) found? Is it on row 1 or row 2 (or some other row) of your worksheet?

sorry, no the ranges could be any range but the last day of period and first day of next period will always be sequential.

This will be on row 1.

Let's say that your date 30/03/17 is in cell F1, and the range your show above is in cells A1:C4.
Then use this equation:

=IF(AND(F1>=B1,F1<=C1),A1,IF(AND(F1>=B2,F1<=C2),A2,IF(AND(F1>=B3,F1<=C3),A3,IF(AND(F1>=B4,F1<=C4),A4,""))))
