Hello,

I am trying to use the IF function with a date in the logic test cell; If the logice test cell has a date then I want the word "DONE" to sho, if it doesn't then I want it to calculate the difference between two cells that are populated with dates. The formula that I have been trying to get to work is shown below...any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

=IF(E22="mmddyyyy","Done",D22-H22)

You should write something like this :

=IF(E22=DATE(2009,11,2),"done",D22-H22)
