Combined IF Statement including And & Not

[Susannah68]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a formula where all the conditions have to be met to return a "Yes". The conditions to return "Yes" are, 1st cell must be blank, 2nd cell's date must be less than today's date, 3rd cell to exclude "apples" or "pears" from a multiple list of fruit and 4th cell to exclude "Closed" from a multiple list.

I've tried =IF(AND(NOT, but the formula applies NOT to the first argument or it tells me I have too many arguments. Is it possible to have a NOT argument in the same formula?

thank you

S

1st cell must be blank, 2nd cell's date must be less than today's date, 3rd cell to exclude "apples" or "pears" from a multiple list of fruit and 4th cell to exclude "Closed" from a multiple list.

aaauming 1st cell is in B6 - guessing from image

=AND( B6="", C6<today() , OR(D6<>"Apples", D6<>"Pears") , E6="Closed")

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone

Thank you for your detailed response. I apologise for not sharing the spreadsheet in a friendly format, but because of restrictions I'm unable to download or share anything. Hopefully your solution will resolve my problem.

thanks again
