    Wondering about your value in C (and other blank columns). Your first check for C was low values....what if you also checked for spaces?
    i.e. =IF(OR(C8<>"",C8<>" "),IF(AND(F8="",I8=""),"T3 trained not certified",IF(MAX(F8,I8)>TODAY(),"Current","Certified after T3 - Expired")),"Current - need T3 date")

    Re: Compare Dates - slight issue with current formula

    Your current formula is set to return "Current - need T3 date" every time the C value is blank. What process would you like to be taken instead when C3 is blank? Should it follow the same progression as the non-blank entries? If so, nothing will ever be "Current - need T3 date". I think your nested IFs just need a little tweaking, but some clarification on each possible path would help.
