Hey Guys,

Desperately need some help here. I have a column where I need to

- lookup a date and see if it falls in-between two dates displayed on another sheet
- Make sure the dates it is looking up are for the correct advertiser

What I need it to return is either 'Active" or "Previous IO" if the date does not fall in the range.

So in the example below I need to look up if the date on column 2 for 7/1/17 is an Active or under previous IO based on the date ranges in sheet 2.

<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>

[TD="bgcolor: #6d9eeb"]Date[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #6d9eeb"]Placement[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: #6d9eeb"]Advertiser[/TD]

[TD="align: right"]2017-08-01[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]?[/TD]

In Sheet two I have this:

<style type="text/css"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--></style>

[TD="align: center"]8/1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]8/31[/TD]

I tried the following formula (that has more data) but this does not incorporate the advertiser lookup in it:

==LOOKUP(2,1/('Sheet 2'!B2:B14<=A1)/('Sheet 2'!C2:C14>=A1),'Sheet2'!G2:G14)

Test - Google Sheets

Thank you!!

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
This is what I came up with

Assuming your data begins with headers on both sheets at cell A1
Code:
Cell D2 <a2,vlookup(c2,sheet2!a:c,3,0)>=IF(AND(VLOOKUP(C2,Sheet2!A:C,2,0)[COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR]<[COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR]A2,VLOOKUP(C2,Sheet2!A:C,3,0)[COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR]>[COLOR=#ff0000]"[/COLOR]A2),"Active","Previous IO")

Remove the red quotations as the forum thinks it is HTML tags so they keep dissapearing</a2,vlookup(c2,sheet2!a:c,3,0)>

This is very helpful!

in my real example i am getting the '#n/a" error saying that it "did not find value '24917' in vlookup evaluation". I think the issue is that the formula is not looking up the actual date but the number you get for 2017-07-01 (which is what the vlookup is comparing to).

How can I fix this? the B2 value is what is not being read correctly.

Could you tell me the exact placements of your data like the top left cell where each of your data begins for each sheet

I tried with your date formatting and it still worked fine...

if you tell me your coordinates i can formulate it for you to just copy paste

IF(AND(VLOOKUP(G2,'Campaign Dates'!A1:B14,2,0)<B2,VLOOKUP(B2,'Campaign Dates'!A1:C14,3,0)>B2),"Previous IO","Active")

g2 = advertiser name
b2 = date for lookup (2017-07-01)
campaign dates = sheet 2 (same setup but just more data)

Ahh i see your issue

So we need to continue to look for the advertiser in both vlookups

so instead of B2 in the vlookup it needs to remain G2

IF(AND(VLOOKUP(G2,'Campaign Dates'!A1:B14,2,0)<B2,VLOOKUP(G2,'Campaign Dates'!A1:C14,3,0)>B2),"Previous IO","Active")
