I'm trying to use an Excel IFS function but can't seem to make this work, I keep returning a #NAME? error.

I've got the date of a due piece of work in column G and already have it conditional formatted to be Green if due in over 28 days, Orange if due within 28 days and Red if overdue. I then want to return a text value in column E with the text 'Not Due' 'Due' and 'Overdue' respectively.

Any help greatly appreciated.

IFS() is only available in Office 365 Excel. You probably have and older version, You will need to use nested IFScott Craner
1. IFS is a function for limited 'flavors' of xl2016. 2. Can you use it on a worksheet? Use Lookup instead. 3. Show the formula that is not working.user4039065

Instead of nesting three IF statements or using IFS, use LOOKUP.

=LOOKUP(G2-F$1, {-1E+99,0,28}, {"Overdue","Due","Not Due"})
