I have dates in column A for the whole year (format: Wednesday July 12, 2010). I need a formula in column B to return a value of 1 if the date is between two specific dates.

Assuming dates are in A1:A365, and the start and end dates are in C1 and D1, in B1 use
=AND(A1>=$C$1,A1<=$D$1)*1
What if I want those dates to be specified in this way - March 1, 2010 and October 31, 2012. That's what I really need to do.
Thanks!
You can format a date any way you want. The cell can contain 1/18/2010 but be formatted to appear as "mmmm d, yyyy" and you can still check if it's in a range.
If your "dates" are actually just text strings that Excel doesn't recognize as dates, it gets a little more complicated.
Paul, I appreciate the help.
here's my formula =AND(A6>=10/1/2014,A6<=3/31/2016)*1
and it doesn't seem to be working. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!!
In your formula, it is seeing '10/1/2014' as 10 divided by 1 divided by 2014, not a date. Try:
=AND(A6>=DATE(2014,10,1),A6<=DATE(2016,3,31))*1
Awesome, Paul. That's the trick, thank you. The one thing I just couldn't get right was formatting the date. I have problems with this.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have 4 tasks that are done in an order. First task1, then task 2 so on. Each task takes certain number of days.
I have calculated Start & End date for each task using MIN & MAX from a list dates Sheet 1(from the beginning of task 1 till the end of last task 4).
For example
Sheet 2
A ---------- B --------- C
(Task) (Start Date) (End Date)
Task 1 -- 1-Jan --- 6-Jan
Task 2 -- 7-Jan -- 12-Jan
Task 3 -- 13-Jan -- 14-Jan
Task 4 -- 15-Jan -- 16-Jan
Sheet 3
In this sheet I have a "column D" for Dates, starting from 1-Jan till 16-Jan (beginning of Task1 - end of task 4) D2:D17
In the same sheet I have marked "W" for working day, "H" for holiday & "A" for Absent, "S"for Sunday in "column F"
D -------- E ------- F
1-Jan Friday ------ W
2-Jan Saturday --- W
3-Jan Sunday ----- S
4-Jan Monday ----- H
5-Jan Tuesday ---- A
6-Jan Wednesday - W
.
.
.
16-Jan Saturday --- W
Now, I want to calculate the number of working days ("W") between start & end date for each task. For Task1, it should first check if each cell in column D (D2:D17) is in between 1-Jan & 6-Jan, if yes, count "W" in column F.
Excel 2016 has a function to calculate the number of working days between 2 dates , have you looked at this to meet your needs?
