=IF(OR(L2="",L2="void"),"",IF((TODAY()>=EDATE(I2,6)),1,""))

 

The formula I am trying to create is if the Issue date is over 6 months I want a 1 in the cell I put the formula in, however if column L is not blank then I want the cell with the formula to be blank. Column L will either have a date or the word void. One of the issues I am having is if the date in L is >than 6 months it wants to put a 1 in the cell with the formula.

Hi rdawbrey

Give this a try

=IF(OR(L2="",L2="void"),"",IF(OR(TODAY()>=EDATE(I2,6),TODAY()>=EDATE(L2,6)),1,""))

In future it would be helpful if you can include an attachment with sample data and their expected result.

Try this then in cell R2

=IF(K2<>"","",IF(OR(TODAY()>=EDATE(H2,6),TODAY()>=EDATE(K2,6)),1,""))

Hi Sunny,

 

The above formula does the trick. I am having a hard time putting this in a sentence so I understand how the formula works. The part that is confusing me is bold, underlined and italic.  

 

=IF(K7<>"","",IF(OR(TODAY()>=EDATE(H7,6),TODAY()>=EDATE(K7,6)),1,""))

 In my mind I read it something like this

If K7 is not blank then leave cell blank, but if the date H7 is greater than or equal to 6 months or……then put a 1 otherwise leave blank

Thanks,

 

Diane

Hi Sunny,

 

If column H does not have a date I also need the cell with the formula to be blank.

 

Thanks

Hi Diane

Maybe I misunderstood your request as I thought you wanted a 1 if the effective date is > 6 months. I too was wondering earlier why you wanted this.

One of the issues I am having is if the date in L is >than 6 months it wants to put a 1 in the cell with the formula.

If that is the case, then give this a try in cell R2:

=IF(OR(H2="",K2<>""),"",IF(TODAY()>=EDATE(H2,6),1,""))

Explanation:

If Issue Date (H2) is a blank or Effective Date (K2) is not a blank, then show a 1 else show a blank.

Otherwise

If Issue Date (H2) is more than 6 months (compared to today's date) then show a 1 else show a blank.

Hope I got it right this time.

 

Sunny

This is perfect and the explanation makes it clearer for me.

 

Thanks,
