multiple IF formulas

[JayDee]

In A1, I have a date linked from another file worksheet. I used the If (is
blank) formula so no data appears unless there is a date to link from the
other worksheet.

In A2, I also have a date linked from another file worksheet. I also used
the If (is blank) formula so no data appears unless there is a date to link
from the other file worksheet.

I am trying to write a formula for Cell A3 that will return a given phrase
(i.e. past due) if the date in cell A2 is greater than the date A1. AND,
return a blank cell for A3 if there are no dates in cells A1 or A2.

=IF(OR(A1="",A2=""),"",IF(A2>A1,"PAST DUE",""))

Hope that helps.

=IF(ISBLANK(A1&A2),"",IF(A2>A1,"Past Due",""))

Your formula will fail if there are text value example: a1=a, a2=b

=IF(OR(A1="",A2=""),"",IF(A2>A1,"PAST DUE",""))

Try this:

=IF(AND(COUNT(A1:A2)=2,A2>A1),"past due","")

 

[Teethless mama]

=IF(ISBLANK(A1&A2),"",IF(A2>A1,"Past Due",""))

Nice of you to notice, of course, you didn't notice that cells A1 and A2 are
pulling in dates from another sheet, and therefore, other values do not
populate in cells A1 & A2.

Understood Mama.
This is because there can NEVER be a Past due date if a DUE BY date is
unknown. This signifies a data entry error.
