Add a condition to an Excel formula to include when date in one cell equals date in another cell

Andreamary
Andreamary used Ask the Experts™
on
Column AH = Date WO was completed
Column AI = Deadline date

My formula below indicates whether the WO was completed by the deadline or not:

=IFERROR(IF($AH2="","",IF($AH2<$AI2,"Yes","No")),"")

I need the above formula to be modified to include the additional condition below:

If AH2 = AI2, the result is also 'Yes' (the deadline was met)

Thanks!
Andrea

Andrea,

This was simple :)  just to add <=
=IFERROR(IF($AH2="","",IF($AH2<=$AI2,"Yes","No")),"")

Thanks for the quick response, Shums! For some reason, the results I'm getting are still showing the deadline isn't met if AH2 = AI2. It appears that column AH includes a date and time stamp, whereas column AI only includes the date. Is it possible for the formula to ignore the time stamp, and if so, do you think that would resolve the issue?

If that's the case, then try below:
=IFERROR(IF($AH2="","",IF(TEXT($AH2,"dd-mm-yyyy")<=TEXT($AI2,"dd-mm-yyyy"),"Yes","No")),"")

try this:
=IFERROR(IF($Ah2="","",IF(DATEVALUE(TEXT($Ah2,"DD/MM/yy"))<=$ai2,"Yes","No")),"")

Hi Arana,

I'm sorry, but I had already closed the question before I saw your response, which also worked. Thanks very much!

Nothing to be sorry about, glad it worked, it was in fact Shum's answer just adjusted for your comment about time stamp, all credit goes to him, just wanted to give you an alternate way to do it , as a future reference.
