overdue item tracking

  • i have an agreement with a service station that items i send to them will be returned fixed with in 3 working days. I wanted to create something easy to following even with just a glance.


    I want to be able to look back and check how many items had been returned overdue.

    i started by using =IF(B2="","",IF((NOW()-B2)>3,"Yes","")) (for column C) and formated the cells to turn red and enter "YES (for overdue) and green"and blank (when not over due)


    I realised that by using NOW() as each day passes they will slowly turn red "YES"


    what i need is that :
    if more than 3 days have passed since DATE SENT to inform column OVERDUE with a "YES" and turn red.
    When 3 days havent passed to leave the column OVERDUE blank and green
    BUT if a DATE RECIEVED has been entered to calculate if it had been more than 3 days(between date sent and date recieved) and mark the OVERDUE column accordingly again.(red and yes or green and blank).


    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Thanks for helping,


    I took a look at your sheet and saw the formula in cell C2 is different for the formulas in C3:C5 whats the difference between them?


    Ive tried both, currently the formula in C2 seems to work, ill put some data to test it some.
    The formula in C3:C5 to always result in a formated RED Yes.

  • oops! - the formula's the formula's should all be the same.


    I have modified the formula to get rid of the Value# error when date sent is blank and date rec is not, put this formula into your overdue column



    Code
    =IF(A2<>"",IF(B2="",IF(TEXT(NOW(),"#")-TEXT(A2,"#")>3,"Yes","No"),IF(TEXT(B2,"#")-TEXT(A2,"#")>3,"Yes","No")),"")
