Hello,

I need an excel formula that tells me if a a cell = a date to return yes or no. I tried =IF(I12=TRUE, Yes, No) and =IF(I12=DATE, Yes, No) but I keep getting #name errors.

If its any help, the cell with the date (I12) is retreiving it via a vlookup function and is not just a date entered manually.

The only other value in I12 will be an #n/a error. Is it possible to use ISNA to return no if true and yes if false?

Could anyone help?


System Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7.0
