I think your verbal description isn't matching your file attachment. "I need to countdown the number of days remaining on column D (Due Date Extended)" Column E is (Due Date Extended) The values in column D are not always dates. If you mean to count the number of days until the date in the column "Due Date Extended", then: Calculating the difference between two dates is easy in Excel, because dates are numbers. (the number of days since 1/1/1900) So, 23-Sep-2014 is 41905 So, using =E3-TODAY() will give you the number of days from today to the date in E3. ( If the number is negative, the date has passed)
Next: your requirement #1: 1. Column E should show up as Ok if status is complete or cancelled in Column H (Status) you can can test if the value in H is Cancelled or Completed by using: IF(OR(H3="Completed",H3="Cancelled"),"OK","") requirement #2: to test if the date is overdue, use: IF(E3-TODAY()<=0,"OVERDUE","") Combine the two to test if the status is complete, or cancelled, then test to see if the date is past due use: =IF(OR(H3="Completed",H3="Cancelled"),"OK",IF(E3-TODAY()<=0,"OVERDUE","")) hope this helps.
