using if/ or and countblank together.

[samlee1981]

Hi,
I want to create a formula for a spreadsheet at work and i'm a complete ludite, so need help!
My dilema is the following;
When an invoice is 15 days before todays date, I want to create a formula to say it has become overdue. I have done this by making an IF statement. IF(D11-15< p$3,"overdue","not due")

This has returned an entire column with overdue and not due, according to todays date.
However, I now need another layer to it....
When payment is received, it is marked in the next column along. When paid, I want the 'overdue' from the original IF statement to go blank. How do I write and IF/OR statement incorporating countblank?

Not sure if i've made much sense but I basically want to say. If invoice is not paid before 15 days before todays date, state 'over due.' When paid (according to next column along) I no longer want overdue, I want it to be blank.

thanks!!

Welcome to the Board!

You can nest your IF statement in another IF statement.
You didn't say which column the "Paid" column is, or how exactly it is marked (is it a date, an amount, something else)?
Let's say that something is entered in cell E11, then something like this would work:

=IF(E11<>"","",[COLOR=#333333] IF(D11-15< p$3,"overdue","not due"))[/COLOR]

thanks so much for replying. the paid column is 'j' and marked using a date format. thanks for your example - really appreciate it!

You are welcome.

So if you are adding a date in column J, dates are really stored by numbers, so you could also use a formula structured a little differently, like this:

=IF(J11>0,"",[COLOR=#333333] IF(D11-15< p$3,"overdue","not due"))[/COLOR]

Either one should work.
