I am working on a fairly simple project but have hit a roadblock in my Excel knowledge. I want to track oil change and tire rotation for a fleet of vehicle.
I record mileage at last oil change, tire rotation and current mileage. I want to be able to quickly see which vehicle needs service based on two triggers, 5000 >= oil and 10,000 >= tires.
IF Current Miles - Miles Last Oil Change >=500 AND Current Miles - Miles Last Rotation <=10,000, OIL ONLY, NO SERVICE
OR
IF Current Miles - Miles Last Oil Change >=4500 AND Current Miles - Miles Last Rotation <=10000, OIL SOON, NO SERVICE
OR
IF Current Miles - Miles Last Oil Change <=5000 AND Current Miles - Miles Last Rotation >=9500, ROTATE SOON, NO SERVICE
OR
IF Current Miles - Miles Last Oil Change <=5000 AND Current Miles - Miles Last Rotation >=10,000, ROTATE ONLY, NO SERVICE
OR
IF Current Miles - Miles Last Oil Change >=5000 AND Current Miles - Miles Last Rotation >=10,000, OIL & ROTATE, NO SERVICE
I think this explains what I am trying to do. I want a "flag" when oil & tires are within 500 miles of their due date, a "do now" when it's either just oil or just rotate and a "do now" when it is both. I have tried nesting the IF, AND, OR statements and have ended up with a hot mess.
Thanks so very much for any help you can provide! Linda Williams

How about using a lookup table? See the attached version. You can change the text in the lookup table, of course.

You didn't really say anything about how your current data is laid out. But, if it were me, I would set up separate fields for the oil and tire service to try to make it easier to work with and filter.
Attached is an example that I hope will be helpful.
