Update SharePoint column status depending on if a date has passed or not

Hi 

 

I am trying to do an auto update column for status of staff holiday (pending, active, ended)

 

I have 2 date columns 'start date' and 'end date'

 

I have set up conditional formatting on the status column as follows

 

=IF([Start Date]>TODAY(),"Pending",IF([End Date]>TODAY(),"Active",IF([End Date]<TODAY(),"Ended")))

 

but there are some issues with this formula.

 

Can anyone help me write a formula that would work for such instance.

 

TIA

  • Liron567 Try using this: 

     

    =IF([Start Date]>TODAY(),"Pending",IF([End Date]>TODAY(),"Active",IF([End Date]<TODAY(),"Ended","")))

     

    If not working, you can try using NOW() instead of TODAY()

      Thank you, this looks similar to mine. Could you please tell me what you changed.

      TIA
      • Liron567 IF function in SharePoint calculated formula has syntax like below: 

         

        IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

         

        You did not provide value_if_false parameter in your formula for last IF function.
