Calculating due dates in Excel

Hi,

I would like to set up excel formula to flag up due dates that are due in the next 3 months - How can this be done?

for example: Due date is 07 Apr 2018 - require built in formula to return "coming due"

thanks

RE: Calculating due dates in Excel

Hi Kay,

Thank you for the forum question.

If your date you want to test is in A1 the functions below will do the job.

May I suggest that instead of using two Today functions as below, you should have the Today function in a cell and then reference the cell. This will make your workbook working faster.




=IF(AND(A1>=TODAY(),A1<=EDATE(TODAY(),3)),"Coming Due","")



Kind regards

RE: Calculating due dates in Excel

Thank Jen - is it also possible to add another part to this equation to flag up anything as "Overdue" that has exceeded the due date that is in cell A1?

Thanks

Hi Kay,

The formula below should do the job.

=IF(AND(A1>=TODAY(),A1<=EDATE(TODAY(),3)),"Coming Due",if(a1<today(),"Overdue",""))

Excel tip:

Adding up time greater than 24 hours

When you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours.
