Formula For Comparing Two Dates?
May 9, 2012
Formula for comparing two dates
Cell A1 = 5/5/2012 (Recent Date)
Cell B1 = 5/6/2011 (Hire Date)
Cell C1 = =YEAR(A1)-YEAR(B1)
This formula gives a result of '1' even though it doesn't show an entire year.
I've also tried this formula:
=DATEDIF(B1,A1, "y")
This is more accurate as it formulates '0' as the result.
However if for some reason the 'Recent Date' in cell A1 is 5/5/12 and the 'Hire Date' in cell B1 is after the 'Recent Date', say 5/6/2012, the formula =YEAR(A1)-YEAR(B1) has a result of '0' and the formula =DATEDIF(B1,A1, "y") has a result of #NUM!.
Is there a formula that will give me accurate results whether the 'Hire Date' is before or after the 'Recent Date'? Maybe something similar to =DATEDIF(B1,A1, "y") but will give a result of '0' instead of #NUM!

I have a simple formula to compare dates but it isn't working. I am missing something obvious. Any help is appreciated:
IF(BB64=Current_Date,"Today","Previous"))
where
Current_Date = today()
BB64 = an array that is a feed from a streaming quote company: =ILX|Q!'f,Date' .
When I format this cell it looks exactly like Current_Date, but is displays "Previous". Somehow it is not doing an apples to apples comparison even though the values lookthe same.

I am using excel 2007, and trying to incorporate a VLookup into some code. The VLookup is comparing dates, which I think may be part of the problem.

I have a comments field in a reporting SS that I need to flag when the last comment is over a week old. The date however is entered into the same cell as the comment and the latest comment is put on a new line in the same cell, ie:
13/02 - Jimmy met with Shirley to discuss project A
10/02 - awaiting meeting
07/02 - agenda issued
Now, if needed I can make the date complete to include the year, ie 13/02/2008.
Is it possible using functions to see if the date in this cell is over 7 days previous to the date in another cell, say J1?
I tried =IF(LEFT(H10,10)

I have trouble trying to get the right sintax of comparing two dates locates in two different sheets.
Example:
Sheet 1, cell A1 = 12/11/2009
Sheet 2, cell B1 = 12/11/2009
If I need to do something based on condition that Sheet1 date = sheet 2 date, how will the code be written? I have
If Sheets("Sheet1").range("A1") = Sheets("Sheet2").range("B1") Then

I'm trying to determine if one date meets the criteria to be considered 'on time'. I have two columns: estimated completion date and completion date. I want to compare the completion date to the estimated completion date and if completion date is <= completion date but is NOT = 1/1/2099 then I met my date. I've tried this several different ways and problem is I cannot make it work.
When estimated completion date is 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'no'
When estimated completion date is not 1/1/2099 but is greater than completion date 'on time' should be 'no'
When completion date is <= estimated completion date and estimated completion date is not equal to 1/1/2099 'on time' should be 'yes'
And I have a null date to deal with also but if I can satisfy the first 3 criteria I can manipulate the null values manually.

I have a problem regarding month formatting
I have 12 columns, Jan 2013 - Dec 2013.
I need to set a format in which if I enter a num eg 15 on the Jan Column, format comes as "15-Jan" format
or If i type 20 on the march column , it comes as "20-Mar" format
I would need it in Date format, because I would be comparing dates later on.

I’m attempting to find values that are within a band of .001 of the values of cells in columns L through O and searching columns B through I for values that meet the .001 criteria and copying the values to columns Q, R, S, and T respectively.
I mentioned the values in L, M, N and O are where the comparisons will be made and these values are tagged to a specific date in Column K. I need to find the dates in Column A that are in between the values of K and the cell beneath it. For example, in K4 I have a date of 10/3/99 and the next date I have in K5 is 10/5/99. I would then query Column A for the dates 10/06/99 (A4), 10/07/99 (A5), and 10/08/99 (A6). The values I need to find within the .001 band are in Columns B through I (B4:I6). Lastly, when reach the last value in Column K, query all values in Column A greater than last value in K and copy the appropriate values in B through I to Q through T.
Rules for copying data to Column Q, R, S, and T:
For Column Q-
Find values in B, C, or D that’s within plus or minus .001 of M and copy the value of B, C, or D into Column Q of the same row.
For Column R-.................

Any easy formula to compare two columens of fixed dates and count how many of each fall within a certain range of each other.
So, for example:
Col 1 Col 2
20/1/11 21/1/11
20/1/11 31/1/11
18/1/11 24/1/11
Lets say col one is a start date and col 2 is an end date. Now say I want to count the number of times the end date falls within8 days of the start
I would have thought that something as simple as
Code:
sumproduct(--(a1:a3<(b1:b3+8))
would work, but clearly I am making a fundamental error, and no matter what I try I'm getting stuck.

I need to compare dates that include both the date and time of day, to find when the day changes.
I have a large list of dates (also includes the time of day in the same cell). There are specific values in the next column that correspond to that date. Some of the values that are too great and have to be changed. This I have figured out with some help from this forum. When a value is changed I need to add together all the values for the corresponding day, some could be above and some could be below.

I have 2 lists. One column has a about 200 values of 7 digit numbers. The second column has about 500 cells with text. This text should include one of the 4 digit numbers from the first list. If it doesn't, I want to purge it.
The 7 digit numbers always appear in the same spot in the column 2 figures. So say the number I'm looking for is 1122 and the second list has a cell with L2871122BD. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this, but my plan was to.
create a 3rd column that has formula =mid(B1,5,4) which should isolate the 4 digit value i want to compare to. Then create a 4th column that has the formula =ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&C1&"*",A:A,0)) to check the newly created MID number to the numbers in column one. Afterward I would simply arange from small to large and delete all of the false entries in column 2.
The only problem is, my ISNUMBER function doesn't work when referencing from my MID formula to column 1. If I do the match and compare the smaller number in column 1 to the larger in column 2, it does work. Is there an easier way to delete or highlight entries in Column 2 whose middle 4 digits don't show up in column 1? Here is an example of what I'm working with.

I have the need within a spreadsheet to automatically compare the value of 2 cells and if they match exactly to move the cursor to a group of cells. If they do not match then move to another group of cells. The only way that I can see to do this is via Macros. However I still need to do the automatic compare first.

In column B is a list of dates, which are broken out by fiscal year (FY=7/1/ to 6/30). Column C is a list of dollar amounts. Cell F3 is the query ‘start date’
Cell F4 is today's date, which will be the formula: =today()
Using a date range of F3:F4, I'm trying to get each cell bordered in red to query the dates in column B for each FY; then display the matching sum from column C.
For illustrative purposes I went and manually determined what the values should be displaying as of 7/22. Here are a couple of examples of how I am trying to get the formula to work.
Example 1
FY’08:
Start date- 7/1
End date- 7/22
Searching cells B1:B94, cells B1:B13 fall within the start and end date parameters listed above. Sum of cells C1:C13 is $45,112.00, which should display in cell F6.
Example 2
FY’09:
Start date- 7/1
End date- 12/13
Searching cells B95:B222, cells B95:B149 fall within the start and end date parameters listed above. Sum of cells C95:C149 is $150,873.03, which F7 should display in cell F7. How to I type up this formula; its way more challenging that I first thought!

This formula calculates a price based on a range dates in cells B14 and B15 and works well with one exception it doesn't look at the dates as a range. I need it to work the way it is IF the dates are between October 1 and May 31 and I need it to work differently if the dates are between June 1 and September 30 where the prices are 1000 and 200 respectively, instead of 1250 and 250.
Code:
=SUM(INT((B15-B14)/7)*1250,MOD(B15-B14,7)*250)

Calculate dates as The Number Of Days, Months Or Years Between Two Dates
The two formulas I tried below show the wrong output when trying to figure the days between 12/8/2011 to 1/2/2012. It should show 0 years, 0 months, 24 days, not 138 days.
I did notice when the day of the month on the start date is before the day of the month of the end date, the formula seems to work. Ref. the second dates on the first example.
Example 1
Start End
12/8/2011 1/2/2012 = 0 years, 0 months, 138 days
Wrong display. should show 0 years, 0 months, 24 days
Start End
12/1/2011 1/2/2012 = 0 years, 1 months, 1 days
Note that when the start date "day", (1), is before the end date "day", (2) the formula seems to work.
First formula used above:
=DATEDIF(B3,C3-(MOD(B3,1)>MOD(C3,1)),"y")&" years, "&DATEDIF(B3,C3-(MOD(B3,1)>MOD(C3,1)),"ym")&" months, "&DATEDIF(B3,C3-(MOD(B3,1)>MOD(C3,1)),"md")&" days"
Example 2
Start End
12/8/2011 1/2/2012 = 0 years, 0 months, 138 days
Should show 0 years, 0 months, 24 days
Second formula tried above:
=DATEDIF(B10,C10,"y") & " years, " & DATEDIF(B10,C10,"ym") & " months, " & DATEDIF(B10,C10,"md") & " days"

Let's say I have a column A with a list of dates like this:
02/01/14
02/08/14
01/01/14
06/15/14
04/13/14
05/12/14
01/13/14
04/01/14
06/01/14
I'd like to then write a formula in column B that tells me what number order the corresponding date in column A would be if column A were sorted in chronological order, broken out by month.
So the results would look like this:
02/01/14 0201
02/08/14 0202
01/01/14 0101
06/15/14 0602
04/13/14 0402
05/12/14 0501
01/13/14 0102
04/01/14 0401
06/01/14 0601
So the first two numbers of column B are simply the month, and the last two are telling you whether it's the first, second, third etc chronological date of that month, that is found in the entire list.
If column B needs to be a concatenation of a couple columns of formulas to get to that result, that's fine.
The whole idea behind this is to assume that the data in column A can not/will not be sorted by Excel.

I currently have a formula that totals a product between two dates, however I need to add up a reason code for that product also in a different tab. My current formula is
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Product'!$A$2:$A$1069=B6), --('Product'!$B$2:$B$1069=Data!$A$1))
I want to add another section so that it looks at the dates between C6 & B6 and also the product in Data A1 but totals the reason from cell C10 in the data worksheet.
