Is Date in between two dates. True/False?

[jackfox68]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to write a formula that will return a value of either true or false if a cell contains a date that is equal too or greater than a starting dates, and equal to or less than an ending date. So for example starting date in cell A1 is 10/1/2014 and end date in cell A2 is 10/31/2014. The date to evaluate in cell A3 is 10/2/2014. The formula I attempted to use was with the AND function and went as follows:

'=AND(A3>=A1,A3<=A2)

For some reason this always returns a false argument.

Any help would be appreciated.

=AND(A3>=A1,A3<=A2)

It returns true for me. You can force it a little bit my using:

=AND(DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),DAY(A3))>=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),DAY(A3))<=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)))

It returns TRUE for me as well, are you sure you have your cell references correct?

This should also work: =MEDIAN(A1:A3)=A3

First - thanks for your replies. However, I am still coming up short Either I am not implementing your solution correctly, or I was not sufficiently describing the ask. Hopefully you can see the example below, which I hope will help to ensure I am explaining what I need more accurately. So - to reiterate my ask (sorry for the redundancy), If the date in column K is either equal to or greater than the date in Cell 035 and equal to or less than the date in Cell P35 then the value returned in P would be True, else the value returned would be false.

Thanks again for your help

Correction - I just attempted the solution provided below and it worked fine! Thank you kindly, I can not tell you how much I appreciate the help. Questions, can anyone tell me why my original formula is not working?

=AND(A3>=A1,A3<=A2)

It returns true for me. You can force it a little bit my using:

=AND(DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),DAY(A3))>=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),DAY(A1)),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),DAY(A3))<=DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2),DAY(A2)))
