Date Comparisons With Time Limits

[Biggs1001]

Hey all,


I did a search but the 'If' function is able to encompass so much I wasn't successful in finding what I'm looking to do - forgive me if I just missed it (or I'm not looking for the right function to efficiently show what I need - a real possibility!)

I have a list of projects that I need to find out what projects have a Ground Breaking Date and of those that have a Ground Breaking Date, which ones haven't completed construction yet - but with all of this I need to figure out what date would be 10 years post Ground Breaking Date of those that fit the above bill.

Project Number	Ground Breaking Date	Construction End Date	Grand Opening Date
A12345
B12345	1/1/1990	9/15/2000	7/30/2001
C12345	5/1/1998	7/11/2004
D12345	3/1/2000
E12345	10/1/1997
F12345
G12345
H12345	8/1/1994	1/18/1999	11/11/1999
I12345	12/1/2001	4/14/2008

<tbody>
</tbody>

So in the above table I want to add a column after the Grand Opening Date that I would put my function into that would look at the Ground Breaking column and see that projects D12345 and E12345 both have Ground Breaking Dates yet no Construction End Dates, would flag that with the date that is 10 years from the Ground Breaking Date. The other projects would be ignored (as they either do not have a Ground Breaking Date or they have one but have a Construction End Date as well)

Is the If function what I'm needing?

Any help would be appreciated - I can do it by hand and just fill in those that need a 10 year date but with 1400 lines of projects, I'm hoping there's a more efficient way

Thanks in advance!

You're amazing Fluff - thanks!

Ground Breaking Date and of those that have a Ground Breaking Date, which ones haven't completed construction yet

you can use
=AND(B2<>"",C2="")
to test if there is a Ground Breaking Date but NO completed construction

So we could out that into an IF test

=IF( AND(B2<>"",C2="") , If true then add 10 years to Ground Breaking Date B2

=date(Year(B2)+10, Month(B2), Day(B2))

if its not true then leave blank

would
=IF( AND(B2<>"",C2="") , date(Year(B2)+10, Month(B2), Day(B2)) ,"")
work
