I need to know how I can enter a date , 02/28/06 in one cell and then i
another cell tell me if that date is true.
It is to be used when there is a list of contracts, in one cell th
date of expiry, and them another cell if that date has come to pass o
not happened yet(expired, current)
Will the "if" function work with real date

how about
=if(a1>b1,"Epired","")

for this example:
place expiry date in B1
a1 have =today()
