Hi all,
I have been doing some pain staking research on these formulas and cannot get them to work. I have a spread sheet that I need to meet some conditions on as follows:
(F10) is a %
(E10) is a date
I am trying to color text red if, F10 is less than 100% and E10 is <= Today()
These are what I have found that should work but cant get them to work? What am I missing?
=AND(F10<100,MONTH(E10)=<(TODAY()))
=AND(MONTH(E10)=<MONTH(TODAY()),F10<100)
Thanks
Dave

Since you are working with a percentage you may need to use <1 rather than <100 (1 = 100%).
So:

Alex, good thought ... but, if it's less than 1, it'll probably also be less than 100 (in this example).
I suspect it's probably just the <= as opposed to the =<
Alex: if it's, say, 20%, that's 0.2 so you are right in respect of what the OP should be testing for (<1) but I don't think that was the reason the formulae don't work. Don't need MONTH and symbols wrong way round.
It depends on the number format of cell F10. I agree that anything less than 1 is also less than 100, so it will work most of the time.
But if cell F10 is 100%, the value of cell F10 is 1. So if you use <100 it would colour the text red, but it shouldn't.
Also agree that the main issue was <= rather than =<.
@Alex: thanks for the feedback. Seems we are in total agreement. Just need the OP to confirm he has the solution he seeks.
