Date IF Statement

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I'm trying many different things but getting myself more confused.. i'm trying to acheive a simple calculated column based upon a date field.

If the date field is greather than today+30, show "Good", if date is less than today +30 show "about to expire" and if date is less than today show "Expired".

Can someone put me out of my misery please 🙂

Many thanks

Greg,

If i have blanks in the date field can i have them show as "Good" too? i assume an additional if statement?

thanks

@Anonymous , Create a new column in the table like

Switch ( True(),

[Date]>=today()+30, "Good",

[Date]>=today(), "about to expire",

"Expired"

)

@Anonymous - I'm thinking:

Column =
  SWITCH(TRUE(),
    [Date] < TODAY(),"Expired",
    [Date] > TODAY() + 30,"Good",
    "About to Expire"
  )

@Anonymous - If I understand, yes:

Column =
  SWITCH(TRUE(),
    ISBLANK([Date]),"Good",
    [Date] < TODAY(),"Expired",
    [Date] > TODAY() + 30,"Good",
    "About to Expire"
  )
