    Hi Werfuks 

    if can handle whatever you throw at it.

    What are Requested and In Progress ? Variables? If it's just text, which is what it looks like, you'd have to use 

    "Requested" and "In Progress". Same for Approved

    if [Completion Date] < [#"Month/Year"] and [Status] = "Requested" and [Status] = "In Progress" and [Status] = "Approved" by Management then "Overdue" else ""

    You have to enclose the text values in double  quotes, like [Satus] = "Requested" and ...

    Bur are you sure that "and" is appropriate? How is [Status] going to = "Requested" AND "In Progress" AND "Approved by Management"? The if statement evaluates to true or false per row, so the [Status] will be just one thing, not one thing AND another thing.
