    Hi @mragans23,

    Something along these lines?

    =IF(AND([Due Date]@row < TODAY(), [Date Completed]@row = ""), "Late", IF([Date Completed]@row > [Due Date]@row, "Late", "On Time"))

    If the due date is in the past and date completed is blank, Status is "Late". If the Completed Date is later than the Due Date, then Status is "Late", otherwise "On Time".

    Hope this helps, but if I've misunderstood something or you've any problems/questions then just let us know!

  • I started with this, but do not have all of the argument in:

    =IF(ISBLANK([Date Completed]@row), "Late", IF(AND([Due Date]@row < TODAY()), "Late", "On Time"))
