How to write date validation formula
I am trying to compare the date inside of Column E to todays date.
1. If today's date is greater than date in Column E then Expired
2. If the date within Column E is within 30 days of Today's date
This is what I came up with
First to check if the Column E value is blank
Second if Today's date is greater than or equal to E65 then Expired
Thirdly Check if Column is greater than today and then check if the input is less Today+30 days then Expiring
=IF(ISBLANK(E65),"", IF(TODAY()>=E65, "Expired","", IF(AND(E65>TODAY(),E65<=(TODAY()+30)),"Expiring","")))
Perhaps
= IF( ISBLANK(E65), "", IF( TODAY() >= E65, "Expired", IF( AND(E65 > TODAY(), E65 <= (TODAY() + 30)), "Expiring", "" ) ) )
Perhaps
= IF( ISBLANK(E65), "", IF( TODAY() >= E65, "Expired", IF( AND(E65 > TODAY(), E65 <= (TODAY() + 30)), "Expiring", "" ) ) )
- Hongan1300Copper ContributorThat worked! Still unsure why mine didnt work, was it the spacing?
You had "" as second option in first IF(). With nested IF() second option is always next IF, except very last one.
