16.  Use the IF function to check whether a date is in the past or future

In this example we want to check whether a particular date is in the past or the future. To do so, the TODAY() function is used with IF to compare dates with the actual date and show its result.

To compare dates — variant A:

1. Select cell B2:B11 and type the following formula: =IF(NOT(A2>TODAY()),"past","future").
2. Press <-Ctrl+Enter->.

To compare dates — variant B:

1. Select cell B2:B11 and type the following formula: =IF(A2>=TODAY(),IF(A2=TODAY(),"Today",
"Future"),"Past").
2. Press <-Ctrl+Enter->.
