    If year of a date matches the year of any date in a range of dates, return true

    Simple as the Title states: If year of a date matches the year of any date in a range of dates, return true. The only thing is, I'm trying to find a way to write a function that doesn't require me to individually compare the first date to each date in the range. For example:

    =If(OR(YEAR(A1)=YEAR(C1),OR(YEAR(A1)=YEAR(C2),OR(YEAR(A1)=YEAR(C3),"TRUE","FALSE")

    The closest I've gotten is:

    =IF(YEAR(C1:C3)=YEAR(A1),"TRUE","FALSE")

    But that doesn't work obviously… any help is appreciated!

    One way...

    Data Range
    A
    B
    C
    1
    9/21/2008
    ------
    6/11/2007
    2
    3/22/2010
    3
    5/23/2008
    4
    5
    TRUE


    This array formula** entered in A5:

    =OR(YEAR(C1:C3)=YEAR(A1))

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Hi

    Try this (not tested)
    =IF(OR(YEAR(C1:C3)=YEAR(A1),"True","FALSE"))

    That needs to be array entered.
