If commands

Hi. I am trying to create a command that comes up with the following words: "ok", "pending" and "due", where more than 5 days from the given deadline is "ok", less than 5 days is "pending" and less than 2 days is "due". This is my formula: =IF(D2-C2>5,"ok")=IF(D2-C2<5,"pending")=IF(D2-C2<2,"due"). The result I get is "true" or "false". Also, I tried to create conditional formatting, so "ok" is green, "pending" is yellow and "due" is red. I think I've done this, but as the words aren't appearing, I can't check.

thanks

Giles

RE: if commands

Hello Giles,

Try this formula,
=IF(D2-C2<2,"Pending",IF(D2-C2<5,"Due","OK"))

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
