Hello,

I'm trying to compare two dates by referencing two cells.

I tried something like this IF(B2>C2, "past due", "on time").

I know to use the DATEVALUE function if I'm referencing a specific date. I want to reference the cells so those dates can change.

Hi Clay,

A formula puts the result in the cell it is located. It cannot put the result in another location.

Best regards,
