Hello,



I'm having trouble finding an answer as to how I can add 5 more days in my condition.

I have 4 columns:
one for an Order date (A2), a second for the Estimated arrival date (B2), a third for the actual Date of the arrival (C2) and a fourth for the Status of the order (Received, Pending or Late).

Basically, if the actual Date of arrival has 5 or more days+ than the Estimated date, I want the status to say Late. I tried =IF C2>B2+2 in the Logical test section, and I guess that's not how you're supposed to do it.

Can anybody help me on this?

Thank you in advanced!

Hi Garycrant,

Not sure where you get the 2 in your formula attempt, but try this:
=IF(C2-B2>4,"Late","Not Late")

Best regards,
Trowa

Hello TrowaD,

Thank you for your response.

I meant +4, sorry, guess I spent so much time looking at numbres it was hard to see straight.

I entered the formula you suggested, and it works!

I have another question along with my initial one: if the Date of arrival (C2) cell is empty, I would like it to have 'Pending' appear.Would that be too many formulas in one function?

Hi Garycrant,

Not at all.

=IF(C2="","Pending",IF(C2-B2>4,"Late","Not Late"))

Best regards,
Trowa
