I am evaluating a column of dates and trying to assign each to a fiscal year.
I can't figure out what's wrong with this statement but it returns FY09 no
matter what date it is evaluating.

=IF(G11>=7/1/8,"FY09",IF(G11>=7/1/7,"FY08","PRIOR"))
 
What is the 7/1/8 and 7/1/7 that you are testing G11 supposed to be...
dates??? Excel is seeing them a set of divisions (7 divided by 1 and that
result divided by 8 or 7 depending on which test we are talking about.
 
Hello:

Excel things your dates are text so it will not compare. Use the following
=IF(G11>=DATEVALUE("07/01/08"),"FY09",IF(G11>=DATEVALUE("07/01/07"),"FY08","PRIOR"))
