If commands
Hi. I am trying to create a command that comes up with the following words: "ok", "pending" and "due", where more than 5 days from the given deadline is "ok", less than 5 days is "pending" and less than 2 days is "due". This is my formula: =IF(D2-C2>5,"ok")=IF(D2-C2<5,"pending")=IF(D2-C2<2,"due"). The result I get is "true" or "false". Also, I tried to create conditional formatting, so "ok" is green, "pending" is yellow and "due" is red. I think I've done this, but as the words aren't appearing, I can't check.
thanks
Giles

RE: if commands
Hello Giles,
Try this formula,
=IF(D2-C2<2,"Pending",IF(D2-C2<5,"Due","OK"))
