Are the cells refereced entered as dates (numeric) or as strings?
There are no cells being referenced, I'm simply evaluating the CURRENT
date/Month...
Since I want prior years sheets to continue to evaluate positive, this
will work perfectly for me in this case.
Hmmmm...
Now that I think about it...
Do these evaluations occur in context of the *current* year? I'm
guessing the answer is yes, that would be the most logical thing to do.
If so, I think I will have to specify the year, otherwise, next year,
what is now this years sheet will start evaluating to false, since May
2011 is NOTMay 2012...
One would need to know exactly what the conditions are to meet
your needs.
=if(a1=date(2011,5,1),1000000,0)
would give 100000 for any date on or after 2011/05/01.
=if(month(a1)=5,1000000,0)
would give 1000000 for any date ????/05/01 thru ????/12/31
The year would not make any difference.
On the other hand, this would take in account the year
=IF(AND(MONTH(A1)=5,YEAR(A1)=YEAR(NOW())),1000000,0)
But the problem would be that if you look at the sheet on before
2012/01/01, then date of 5/1/2011 would give true, but then it
would give false on 1/1/2012?
Instead of using now() in the sheet, you might want to a cell with
the current year for that sheet.
So, in cell G1, I placed =date(2011,1,1)
=IF(AND((MONTH(A1)=5),YEAR(A1)=YEAR($G$1)),1000000,0)
Note the $G$1 is to make the address absolute, so when you
copy the formula. This way, within a sheet the function would
return the value in regards to the year for that sheet instead of
regards to the current year.
One needs to be very clear on what one want to do?
Is that correct?
Thanks very much for your help in getting this right...
