    Yes, I want to check if the assigned developer contacts match and if the dates overlap. For example, in the below picture the estimated start date for the second row falls in between the star-end date for the top row. I want a check to see if this does or does not happen. You can ignore the other columns.

    Hello!

    Would something like this work for you? The same formula for both contact and start date, except you change the reference to the column you want to check.


  • I think I will mess around with it a little more but I think that will get me past the problem I was having, thanks!
