    Excel Date/Tolerance formula

    I have a workbook I'm creating and want to pull data from one worksheet (raw data) into another (summary). I want my summary worksheet to display a "YES" or "NO" answer depending on whether my ending dates fall within a 14 day tolerance, either 14 days before or after the scheduled date. For instance, if my project was scheduled to finish on June 1 but actually finished June 14, then it is with the 14 day tolerance before or after and I want the cell to display "YES" If outside that window, then the cell should display "NO". Help please.

    Re: Excel Date/Tolerance formula

    =if(abs(A1 -B1)<=14; "yes","no")
    a1=june 1
    b1=june 14

    Is this what you want?

    It appears that Excel doesn't like '14'. When I put in this formula, I get an error msg and then 14 is highlighted. Any thoughts? Thank you.

    It is not 14 but de semicolon that excel doesn't like:

    =if(abs(A1 -B1)<=14, "yes","no")
