    Compare Dates

    Hello!

    Those don't appear to be dates - they look like just decimal numbers, so your formula is actually doing exactly what it should.

    That's how date format we are using. 11.10 is Nov. 10 and so on.
    I tried changing the date format but still, excel is not giving the correct output.

    Those still aren't dates. You need to include a year and enter them as proper dates. You can always change the cell format to not display the year if you want, but the actual cell values must be dates.
