I need big-time help here! I have altered the formula so many times and have gotten completely confused and still, get an error "The function in the formula causes the result to change each time the spreadsheet is calculated. The final evaluation step will match the result in the cell, but the interim steps may not."

Objective:
I am trying to get a cell to display specific words that are dependent on today's date and the dates entered in other columns.

Conditions:
Column B contains the formula that I want to change
Today's date (hypothetically Mar 11, 2022)
Condition 1: if K2 is blank, then return "ACTIVE", if it contains a date (any date), then "OFFER"
Condition 2: if M2 equals today and or + 1 day (Mar 11 or 12), then "FIRM", if no date then "OFFER"
Condition 3: if N2 equals today and or +1 day (Mar 11 or 12) then "SOLD FIRM", if no date then "FIRM
Condition 4: if O2 equals today, then "SOLD", if no date then "ACTIVE"

The formula:

=IFS(K2="","ACTIVE","OFFER",AND(M2<=TODAY(),"FIRM","OFFER",AND(N2<=TODAY(),"FIRM SOLD","FIRM",AND(O2=TODAY(),"SOLD","FIRM SOLD"))))

I really appreciate any and all help!

Thank you in advance.
 
Did you try the latest formula I sent you in post #9, to see if that is any closer to what you want ?

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
