Getting SMS from my Excel file for specific dates to my own phone
I have used the following formula in my Excelsheet, in an extra column "B" as under:- =IF(A2=TODAY(),,"C2&D2&E2&F2""") But, it is giving an error message. How do I get over this issue?

Thanks dearSnowMan55
The formula suggested by you has been accepted without any errors.
However, since I didn't select any SMS service or provide my own Mobile
Number, there was no response.
Could you please guide me for that too?

In short, no.
There is no built-in Excel feature for sending content as an SMS message. Someone else must have the physical hardware and authorization to place messages into the communication networks. (I have no special knowledge of such.)
"Excel to SMS" appears to be a product available through textlocal.in, but I see that phrase also used on txtimpact.com. And they are not the only sources for such software; here is a sample that I found:
- smscountry.com
- authkey.io
- zapier.com
These are all commercial ventures. Some may offer a free trial period, but they will eventually all charge you for sending SMS texts.
If you have downloaded a product from one of those sites (or others), get help from them. You should not expect that members of this Excel community will help to provide support for their software unless you have started with that.
