    Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    I need help with basic functions over 3 columns. I have col C with a date and I have col E which shows the date of col C plus 365 days. There can also be a more recent date in col D and I need this date plus 365 days in col D as it is newer than the date in col C.

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

    Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

    Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

    (Note: this change is not optional. As you are new here, I will do it for you this time.)

    Re: Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    Sorry I don't know how to show the spreadsheet in this box. I have gas service dates in column C. Column E shows the service date of column C plus 365 days. There can be 2 services carried out in one year so the extra service date is showing in column D, as this date is the most recent date then I need column E to show this date plus 365 days instead of the earlier date in column C, hope this explains it.

    Did you try what I suggested in post #3? If it doesn't work, attach your workbook.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Re: Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    Thank you I'll do that, just one more thing please.
    I have this function in column F =IF(E11-D11<365,"Yes","NO")this is
    telling me if the service dates were within a year, can column F show as
    blank if there isn't a date in Column E.
    The dates will be filled in later in the year.

    Re: Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    =IF(D2>C2,D2,C2)+365 this works if D2 is greater than C2 + 365 gives me the next service date but sometimes there are extra services. Can I add another column, eg if D2>C2 and G2 is greater than both + 365

    Yes:

    =IF(AND(D2>C2,G2>D2),G2,IF(D2>C2,D2,C2))

    Re: Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    Thank you nearly there. The following columns have these service dates -
    C2 = 29/03/19
    D2 = 17/03/20
    E2 = 18/04/20
    G2 = 05/05/20
    H2 = next service date (+365 days)

    So column H should show the date +365 days of the most recent date of the 3 columns which is G2 +365.
    If there was no date in col G2 then the date in H would be the date in E2 +365.
    If there was no date in either G2 or E2 then col H would be the date in D2 +365

    Re: Checking for Latest Date & Adding 365 Days

    =MAX(C2,D2,E2,F2)+365 this worked - thank you so much for helping.

    latest date

    I have 2 columns with service dates which should be done within 365 days. I have Col H where I ask the question - was the service done within 366 days - Yes or No.
    The equation I currently use is =IF(E2="","",IF(E2-D2<366,"Yes","NO")) and this works but I need to factor in a third date in col F.


    Col E is first date, Col D is 2nd date and Col F is extra date.

    The most recent service date (which might be in col E or F)is the important date.

    I need add to the equation above to factor in the third date col F. Col F supercedes Col E.

    Can you help
