IF Date = This then enter this number

[Church]

First time post and am impressed (and dwarfed) by the knowledge floating around out there. I'm in the right place for this easy question. Would like to be able to have a cell calculate the system date between a range (ie 10/01/02 and 10/31/02) and if the current date falls within that range the cell value would input a number from another cell? After the date range is pasted (ie 11/01/02) the number in the cell would remain as it was on the last day.

I have Simply in cell P27 the formula =SUM(P25:P26) and it equals say 25.

IF today is 10/8/02 then cell O33 would get the number 25 input into it.

A coworkers attempts have brought this formula (that doesn't work):

=IF(TODAY()<DATE(2002,11,1),O33=P27,O33=O33)

I did not follow all your cell references.

with criteria in G2 and G3

=AND(TODAY()<=G3,TODAY()>=G2) will give
True if Today is within criteria

then if True put value from O33 into cell other wise blank

=IF(AND(TODAY()<=G3,TODAY()>=G2),O33,"")

or

=(MONTH(TODAY())=10)*O33

Each of the above work only for the current month.

You can copy and then paste special as value to eliminate the formula and leave the information.

Hi David,

Sorry, but what you want to do cannot be accomplished with a cell formula since it creates a circular reference. The following VBA code should accomplish the same thing without the problem:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Date < #11/1/2002# Then
[o33] = [p27]
End If
End Sub

This code must be inserted into the worksheet's event code module. To do this, right-click on the worksheet's tab, select View Code, and paste this code into the VBE code pane. It will check the date condition each time the worksheet calculates.

Damon/HTH Dave,

Thank you for the suggestions. With your input we came up with this (and it works!)

=IF(AND(TODAY()>DATE(2002,11,1), TODAY()<DATE(2002,11,30)),P27,O33)

Thanks again!
