Hi, Try also without any tables,
=LOOKUP(A2,DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),-{1342,35,12,9,6,3}+MONTH(TODAY()),0),{"Prospect";"> 12 Month";"9 - 12 Month";"6 - 9 Month";"3 - 6 Month";"0 - 3 month"}) Or, if you activate Analysis ToolPak AddIn (unless if you are using XL2007 or later), you can simplify, =LOOKUP(A2,EOMONTH(TODAY(),-{1342,35,12,9,6,3}-1),{"Prospect","> 12 Month","9 - 12 Month","6 - 9 Month","3 - 6 Month","0 - 3 month"}) Note: TODAY() is a volatile function. so try to avoid it using multiple times. Define a name eg: CurrDate on Refers to as =TODAY() then replace TODAY() with CurrDate, or enter in a cell =TODAY() then replace TODAY() with this cell reference. ___________ HTH, Haseeb. -- FORUM RULES (934+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
