Question Date Formula

Hello!!

I'm working with a spreadsheet to manage the timely completion of work orders. I need a formula that results in Early, OK or Late depending on the Completion Date and refering to the completion period, for example:

FROM TO COMPLETION DATE EARLY/LATE
01/01/06 - 01/31/06 02/06/06 LATE

I have tryed so many different ways but nothing

Help me please!!

Howdy, and welcome to the board.

Can you attach a sample file?

Are the "From" and "Completion Date" in separate columns?

If From Date is in B3, To Date is C3, and Competion Date is D3, then put this in cell E3

=IF(D3>C3,"Late",IF(D3<C3,"Early","OK"))
