Hi all - I NEED SOME HELP!!

I have 3 drop down lists - DATE (D2); MONTH (E2); YEAR (G2)

I have annual leave allowance based on time served - (Q2) 25.0 (<5 years service); (Q3) 30.0 (>5 years service but started after 30/4/2013); (Q4) 31.5 (>5 years service and started on or prior to 30/4/2013)

My problem is when 2019 is selected in (G2) it results in 30.0 (Q3) - this is the only year with a problem!!

Here's the formula used...

=IF(G2="YEAR","",IF(AND(YEAR(TODAY())-G2<5,YEAR(TODAY())>G2),Q2,IF(DATE(G2,E2,D2)<=DATE(2013,4,30),Q4,IF(DATE(G2,E2,D2)>DATE(2013,4,30),Q3))))
 

Excel Facts

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
If it would not cause your results to be a day off, try using 'less than/equal to ' and 'greater than/equal to'
Code:
<=
>=
that would keep the results from being zero for some of the formula parts, which seems to be part of the problem. You are only using the equal to in one place at present. It seemed to work right when I changed it on a test setup.

Thanks JLG - but it's still not changing!
I'm guessing that I'm going to have to use all 3 dropdown boxes to determine the precise date? So - is the YEAR <5 years, the month & year <5 years, the dd/mm/yyyy <5 years from the current day; and the same for >=

=IF(G2="YEAR","",IF(AND(YEAR(TODAY())-G2<=5,YEAR(TODAY())>=G2),Q2,IF(DATE(G2,E2,D2)<=DATE(2013,4,30),Q4,IF(DATE(G2,E2,D2)>=DATE(2013,4,30),Q3))))
