    Hi @nroberson31

    Try this

    =IF([Overall Project Status]@row = "Completed", "No", IF(OR([Overall Project Status]@row = "Past Due", [Promised Date]@row <= TODAY()), "Yes", "No"))

    Here are the results I got in my test, with the above formula in the Past Due Column

    Formula Breakdown

    IF the Overall Project Status is "Completed" the return a value of "No" in the Past Due Column otherwise

    IF the Overall Project Status is "Past Due" OR the Promised Date is Less than or equal to today, return a value of "Yes" in the Past Due Column, otherwise "no"

    In my example the statuses are different from yours so you'll need to update your formula appropriately. I also show an "Other" status so you can see how the formula responds when the status is just based on the Promised Date column.

    I hope this helps.

    Do you want the formula to return "Yes" when [Overall Project Status]@row is "Past Due" or the [Promised Completion Date]4 (just on row 4, not particularly in the current row) has a date that's greater or equal to today's date? Also for it to return "No" if the [Overall Project Status]@row is "Complete"?

    It'd help to have a screenshot of the columns you're working with. (careful of sensitive data)

    I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to do with the example formula. Here's what I put together quickly:

    =IF(OR([Overall Project Status]@row = "Past Due", [Promised Completion Date]@row <= TODAY()), "Yes", IF([Overall Project Status]@row = "Complete", "No", "No"))
