Hi, 
 
I have an IF(OR) below 
 
The formula result is &quot;No&quot; but the date serials match, so B17 is today() 
 
Its checking date stamps dropped into the other spreadsheets by VB using =now() 
 
Cutting the dates using left returns 41864 for all the cells in the IF and today() 
 
Why am getting &quot;No&quot; returned? 
 
Thanks 
 
 
 
=IF(OR(LEFT('[NA.xlsm]PB Review'!$H$1,5)=B17,LEFT('[Europe.xlsm]PB Review'!$H$1,5)=B17,(LEFT('[MENA.xlsm]PB Review'!$H$1,5)=B17),(LEFT('[Asia.xlsm]PB Review'!$H$1,5)=B17),(LEFT('[LATAM.xlsm]PB Review'!$H$1,5)=B17)),&quot;Yes&quot;,&quot;No&quot;)

Microsoft Excel

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
