A nested IF statement to compare todays date with an offset date

[CoolPro]

Excell 2003

I'm trying to create a formula that will take the date from a cell and compare it with todays date.

The idea is to allow a person to enter a date in a cell and then another cell will evaluate as to whether or not the date has expired, not expired, 1 month to go.

But as the date entered is either 6 months 1 year or 2 years before the expiry date, I need it to allow for this as well.

EG. Item was Calibrated 03/08/11 and this calibration is valid for 1 year.
So the cell with the formula will need to assess how long till the calibration is either expired, 1 month to go, not expired.

So at;
03/08/12 it would show "expired"
03/07/12 it would show "1 Month"
any date before 03/07/12 it would show "valid"

The formula I tried was;

=IF((x+365)<TODAY(),IF(X+344)<TODAY(),"NO","1 p Month?),?Yes?)<> where x = cell with date of calibration

I need all the help I can get if only to stop my computer from learning to fly

Hi coolpro,

Something like:

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	03/08/2012	Expired
2	28/06/2012	1 Month
3	03/07/2012	Valid
4	15/05/2012	Valid
...

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
B1	=IF(A1-DATE(2011,8,3)>365,"Expired",IF(MOD(A1-DATE(2011,8,3),30)=0,12-(A1-DATE(2011,8,3))/30&" Month",IF(A1-DATE(2011,8,3)<365,"Valid")))

The calibration date could be in a particular cell if you want.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Thanks for the assistance guys.

In the end I went with:

=IF((V2+182)>TODAY(),IF((V2+182-TODAY())>31,"No","1 Month"),"Yes")

cheers

You're welcome.

Nice, a shorter one.
