Logical Test Issue
I'm reaching out to ask for help regarding a logical test formula in column H of my attachment (starting from a pretty straightforward date subtraction it's returning blank instead of the expected threshold values). I guess the issue could be related to the date format - I've tried manipulating them even via helping columns but am still not able to solve the issue for all rows. Is there a fast way to solve this? Many thanks!

Dates in F are text - try this:
=IFERROR(IF(SUBSTITUTE(F2,".","/")-A2>210,"30+ Weeks","Below 30 Weeks Threshold"),"")
Thanks a lot! It seems like it's now working fore some cells, but not all (I3, for example). Do you know why this might be and how I can proceed?
Try
=IFERROR(IF(DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(F2,".","/"))-A2>210,"30+ Weeks", "Below 30 Weeks Threshold"),"")
I'm not clear on your logic. Are you sure it shouldn't be this?
=IF(A2-SUBSTITUTE(F2,".","/")>210,"30+ Weeks", "Below 30 Weeks Threshold")
Might be simpler if you did the . / substitution and date conversion in columns F and G
=DATEVALUE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(D2,10),".","/"))
Also, the valid from-to dates in columns D and E are identical.
