Hi there,

I have the following statement:

Code:
=IF(L36="Closed","Item Closed",IF(E36<TODAY(),"Overdue","Not Due"))

What this does it evaluate if L36 has the value closed, and if so will change the current cell to read "Item Closed", if it is not closed it then evaluates to see if E36 has passed todays date (L36 being my due date) and if so, displays a message accordingly.

I want to change this cell to tell me how many days it is overdue by, so, instead of simply saying "overdue" I want it to say "2 Days Overdue"

many thanks for any help,
great forum!

How about:
Code:
=IF(L36="Closed","Item Closed",IF(E36<TODAY(),(TODAY()-E36)&" Days Overdue","Not Due"))


Cheers, Glenn.

Did you hear about the literalist show-jumper? He broke his nose jumping against the clock.
 
Perfect.

thanks,
