Check IF a Date is Between Two Given Dates in Excel (Easy Formula)

Data analysis in Excel often involves working with dates.

A common thing many Excel users need to check when working with dates is whether a date is between two given dates.

A simple use case of this could be when you need to check whether the date of submission of a report was within the given dates or not. Based on this, you can highlight what reports were submitted after the deadline.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to check if the date is between two given dates or not.

This Tutorial Covers:

Using Nested IF Formula

One of the easiest ways to check whether a date is in between two given dates is by using a simple if formula.

And since we need to check for two conditions, we would need to use two if formulas.

And when you use an IF formula within another IF formula, that is called the nested IF construct.

Below I have a data set where I have the project start date and project end date in column A and column B respectively. And then I have the project submission date in column C.

Now I want to check whether the project submission date was between the project start and project end date or not.

This can easily be done using the below nested IF formula:

The above formula would return ‘In Range’ if the date lies in between the two given dates, and it would return ‘Out of Range’ in case the date is either before the project started or after the project end date.

Now let me quickly explain how this formula works.

I first used and if formula to check whether the date is after the project start date or not.

Based on these criteria, I need to specify what should the formula do in case this condition is true, and what should the formula do in case the condition is not true.

But since I have two conditions to check, immediately after I checked the first condition, I use the second IF function to check for the other condition (which is whether the date is before the project end date or not).

Since the IF function takes 3 arguments (the condition, value when the condition is True, and value in the condition is False), for the second IF function, I specify ‘In Range’ as the second argument, as it has satisfied both the conditions, and I specify out of range as the third argument, because it satisfies the first if condition, but it fails the second if condition.

And then finally, I specify ‘Out of Range’ as the second argument for the first IF function (which means that the condition in the first IF function failed, and hence it did not go to the second if function and instead returned the second argument of the first IF function).

Since I had only two conditions to check, I have used two if functions where the second function is nested within the first one. In case you have more than two conditions to check you can further nest these if functions (although it tends to get a bit complicated after a few)

Using IF + AND Formula

While many Excel users are quite comfortable using the IF formula, when you have multiple conditions to check, I prefer using the combination of IF and AND formula instead.

Within the AND formula, you can check for multiple conditions, and can specify what result you should get in case all the conditions are true, and the result you should get in case any of these conditions are FALSE.

Let’s again take the same data set where I have the project started and project end date in column A and column B, and I have the project submission date in column C.

Below is the formula I can use to check whether the submission date lies between the project start date and project end date or not:

The above formula checks for both the conditions and it would return ‘In Range’ in case the submission date is in between the start and the end date, and it would return ‘Out of Range’ in case the submission date is before the project started or after the project end date.

Note that I have still used an IF function in the above formula, however, I didn’t have the need to use two if functions.

Since I had to check for both the conditions, I did that using the AND function instead.

The AND function would return TRUE if both the conditions are true, and it would return FALSE if any or both the conditions are false.

And since I needed a more descriptive output instead of a simple TRUE or FALSE, I have used an IF function where it would give me ‘In Range’ in case the result is TRUE and ‘Out of Range’ in case the result is FALSE.

Check If the Date Occurs on Weekend

A common use case when working with dates in project management is to identify whether a date occurs on a weekend or not.

If you’re checking this manually, you would check whether a date is a Saturday or Sunday.

But when working with dates in Excel, you can use the WEEKDAY function that can easily do this for you.

Below I have a data set where I have some dates in column A, and I want to check whether these dates occur on a weekend or not.

For the purpose of this tutorial, I would consider Saturday and Sunday as the weekend days.

Below is the formula that will do this for you:

If the date occurs on a Saturday or Sunday, it will give you a TRUE, else it will give a FALSE.

The above WEEKDAY formula checks the serial number of the date, and returns a number that corresponds to the weekday number for that date. So if it’s a Monday, it would return 1, if it’s a Tuesday it would return 2, and so on.

Since the condition that I’m checking is whether the weekday result is more than 5, it would return TRUE if the date is on a weekend, and it would return FALSE if it’s on a weekday.

If you want the result to be more meaningful, you can use the below if formula, which will return ‘Weekday’ in case the date occurs on a weekday and ‘Weekend’ in case the date occurs on a weekend.

Issues When Checking Whether a Date is in Between two dates

So far, I’ve shown you a couple of scenarios where you can check whether a date lies between two given dates.

In all the formulas, the underlying principle is to compare the value of the given date with the start and the end date. If the value of the given date, is in between the start and the end date, then it occurs in between these two dates, else it does not.

However, in some cases, you may see some unexpected results.

In this section, I cover some common pitfalls that you need to be aware of when comparing dates in Excel:

Dates Need to Be in the Right Format

Dates and time values are stored as numbers in the back-end in Excel. So when you compare two dates, you’re essentially comparing two numbers.

You may think that the date looks nothing like a number (for example 01 January 2023), but remember that dates are formatted to show up differently in the cell in Excel, while in the back-end these are still numbers.

For example, a cell may show 01 January 2023, but in the backend, the value of this cell would be 44927 (which indicates the total number of days that have elapsed after 01 Jan 1900).

Now, if your dates are in the right format, all is well.

But there is also a possibility that your date is in a format that Excel does not recognize as a date, which means that instead of a number in the back end, it ends up being considered a text string.

For example, Jan 01, 2023, is not a valid date format in Excel.

So if you have this in a cell in excel, it would be considered a text string, and using this to compare it with other dates can give you incorrect results.

Bottom line – When comparing dates in Excel, make sure that the dates are in the right format

Dates May have a Time Part that’s Hidden

Just like dates, time values are also stored as numbers in the backend in Excel.

While a whole number would indicate a full day, the decimal part would indicate the portion of the day or the time value for that day.

For example, if you have 01-01-2023 18:00:00 in a cell in Excel, in the backend it would be 44927.75, where 44927 means 01-01-2023 and 0.75 means 18:00:00

Now, here’s the problem that you can encounter when checking whether a date lies in between two given dates.

You may clearly see that the date is in between the two given dates, but Excel may give you a different result.

This can happen because most of the time when people work with dates and times, the time portion is hidden so that you only see the date but you do not see the time value.

Below I have a simple example where I have the same date in cells A1 and B1, but when I compare these two cells, it tells me these are not the same.

While you can clearly see that these dates are exactly the same, what you do not see is that there is a time value in cell A1 that is hidden so you do not see it. But when excel compares these two cells, it considers these as different (which it rightly should).

While this is not such a common scenario, if this happens, it can sometimes stump even advanced Excel users.

In this tutorial, I showed you a couple of simple formulas that you can use to check whether a date is between two given dates or not.

I’ve also mentioned some of the pitfalls you should be aware of when comparing dates and Excel.

I hope you found this Excel tutorial useful.

Excel IF statement between two numbers or dates

by Alexander Frolov, updated on March 7, 2023

The tutorial shows how to use an Excel IF formula to see if a given number or date falls between two values.

To check if a given value is between two numeric values, you can use the AND function with two logical tests. To return your own values when both expressions evaluate to TRUE, nest AND inside the IF function. Detailed examples follow below.

Excel formula: if between two numbers

To test if a given number is between two numbers that you specify, use the AND function with two logical tests:

• Use the greater then (>) operator to check if the value is higher than a smaller number.
• Use the less than ( smaller_number, value =) and less than or equal to ( = smaller_number, value =AND(A2>10, A2

To check if A2 is between 10 and 20, including the threshold values, the formula in C2 takes this form:

In both cases, the result is the Boolean value TRUE if the tested number is between 10 and 20, FALSE if it is not:

If between two numbers then

In case you want to return a custom value if a number is between two values, then place the AND formula in the logical test of the IF function.

For example, to return «Yes» if the number in A2 is between 10 and 20, «No» otherwise, use one of these IF statements:

If between 10 and 20:

If between 10 and 20, including the boundaries:

Tip. Instead of hardcoding the threshold values in the formula, you can input them in individual cells, and refer to those cells like shown in the below example.

Suppose you have a set of values in column A and wish to know which of the values fall between the numbers in columns B and C in the same row. Assuming a smaller number is always in column B and a larger number is in column C, the task can be accomplished with this formula:

Including the boundaries:

And here is a variation of the If between statement that returns a value itself if TRUE, some text or an empty string if FALSE:

Including the boundaries:

If boundary values are in different columns

When smaller and larger numbers you are comparing against may appear in different columns (i.e. number 1 is not always smaller than number 2), use a slightly more complex version of the formula.

=AND(A2>=MIN(B2, C2), A2

To return your own values instead of TRUE and FALSE, use the following Excel IF statement between two numbers:

=IF(AND(A2>MIN(B2, C2), A2

=IF(AND(A2>=MIN(B2, C2), A2

Excel formula: if between two dates

The If between dates formula in Excel is essentially the same as If between numbers.

To check whether a given date is within a certain range, the generic formula is:

In case, the start and end dates are in predefined cells, the formula becomes much simpler:

Where $E$2 is the start date and $E$3 is the end date. Please notice the use of absolute references to lock the cell addresses, so the formula won’t break when copied to the below cells.

Tip. If each tested date should fall in its own range, and the boundary dates may be interchanged, then use the MIN and MAX functions to determine a smaller and larger date as explained in If boundary values are in different columns.

If date is within next N days

To test if a date is within the next n days of today’s date, use the TODAY function to determine the start and end dates. Inside the AND statement, the first logical test checks if the target date is greater than today’s date, while the second logical test checks if it is less than or equal to the current date plus n days:

If date is within last N days

To test if a given date is within the last n days of today’s date, you again use IF together with the AND and TODAY functions. The first logical test of AND checks if a tested date is greater than or equal to today’s date minus n days, and the second logical test checks if the date is less than today:

Hi!
Please check out the following article on our blog, it’ll be sure to help you with your task: Excel nested IF statement — multiple conditions in a single formula.

Firstly, thanks for the great content. It’s helped me a lot (but I’m stuck!)

I’m trying to compare 2 numbered lists.
In List A, I have a list of numbers ranging from 6-11 digits in length, where each cell (A2, An) is a unique number.
In List B, I have a different format, where column E & F are called Low Range & High Range respectively. It’s purpose is to create a range where the number is sequential and doesn’t break, if it breaks, it moves to the next range.

For Example:
The following numbers are depicted differently in both Lists below (200000, 200001, 200002, 200004, 200006, 200007, 200008, 200010)

List A:
Cell A2 = 200000
Cell A3 = 200001
Cell A4 = 200002
Cell A5 = 200004
Cell A6 = 200006
Cell A7 = 200007
Cell A8 = 200008
Cell A9 = 200010

List B:
Cell E2 (Low Range) = 200000 — Cell F2 (High Range) = 200002 (i.e. includes 200001)
Cell E3 (Low Range) = 200004 — Cell F3 (High Range) = 200004
Cell E4 (Low Range) = 200006 — Cell F4 (High Range) = 200008 (i.e. includes 200007)
Cell E5 (Low Range) = 200009 — Cell F5 (High Range) = 200009

Problem I’m trying to solve:
I’m trying to compare each cell (A2, An) in List A to each Low Range & High Range (Column E & F) combination. I have it working when I specify an individual cell in List A (A2) and compare it to E2 & F2 in List B using the following formula:

Hello!
If I understand correctly, each date interval is written as text in a cell. You can’t do any calculations with text. You can apply the recommendations described in the article above only if each date is written in a separate cell. To split the text into separate cells, I recommend using this instruction: Split string by delimiter or pattern, separate text and numbers. Then convert the text to date as described in the article at the link.

If the date is less than 7 but more than 2 days from TODAY, I what it to display «ACTIVE»

If the date is 2 days before TODAY, I want it to display IMMINENT

I have inherited the formula below but it never displays «IMMINENT». I am trying to amend this formula so that 2 days before it says OVERDUE, It flags up that the duty is imminent.

Hi!
I am not sure I fully understand what you mean.

I am trying to display a text value if a number between 198.4 and 350.5 is displayed, but the formula is not working for me, I am entering this formula:

Hi!
Please read the above article carefully.
Instead of AND(C5>MIN199,C5 199,C5 Reply

Hello,
I swear I’ve done this before but can’t for the life of me recall. I have two tables:
Table 1: Column C = a number I enter, Column D = a corresponding text based on table 2
Table 2: Column A = a lower limit, Column B = an upper limit, Column C = text
What I’m looking to do is IF Table 1, C = 10, so it is >= Table 2 Column A and Reply

In essence, you build a formula as explained in the «If between two numbers then» example, but instead of the hardcoded values, supply the corresponding references.

Assuming your table 2 is on Sheet2 beginning in row 2, use the following formula for D2 in table 1:

I’m currently building a number sequence, using 5 columns and 50 rows. The numbers can’t >9 if so they should +1 to the next row.

for example you enter 51410 in the respective 5 columns and underneath it then starts counting up from 51410 to 51411 etc.

I have been using the IF(AND function however eventually this sequence counts up from 9 going over the maximum value of 9.

A2 = 8 A3 =9
B2 = IF(AND(F63>=9,E63>=9),»0″,E63+1)
B3 = IF(F63=9,»0″,SUM(F63,1))

is there any way around this.

I created a poker tracker sheet in excel to track my winnings on freerolls I play in, on various poker sites.
Now,
in Column D is my buy in, column E is won bounty and column H is price I won, and in column J is client name.
Now, how can I calculate in column K for each separate site and track my winnings from each separate site in column K??
Is it possible??
I.e. IF client name is GG then total winnings are.
IF client name is PS then total winnings are.

I wish I could post a screenshot to explain better what I mean.

Hello!
To calculate a sum based on one or more criteria, use the SUMIFS function. Look for the example formulas here: Excel SUMIFS and SUMIF with multiple criteria – formula examples. This should solve your task.
