By default, the formula below (in cell C8) returns the current year.

=IF(OR(C8="[Select Month]",C8=""),"",IF(D12=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy"),"",IF(D12<>"",D12,TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy"))))

1. It works OK for all the conditions EXCEPT one.

2. If the value in cell C8 is equal to the value in cell D12, then cell C8 should not show a value, otherwise the value of cell D12 should be shown.

3. However, When C8 = C12, the value is also shown C8, which should not be.


Please help. Thanks.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Add it to the OR part at the start:

Excel Formula:
=IF(OR(C8="[Select Month]",C8="",C8=D12),"",IF(D12=TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy"),"",IF(D12<>"",D12,TEXT(TODAY(),"yyyy"))))

Thanks for your help.

The solution found was modifying the formula to, YEAR(TODAY()), making it numeric to match the numeric value entered in D12.
