Formula Help Please

[sk81222]

I need to create a recognition for a column. for example. i have a list
of dates starting from May 1, 2006 all the way to December 3, 2010.

and the dates repeat as well.


example:

05/01/06
05/01/06
05/01/06
05/01/06
05/02/06
05/02/06
05/02/06

what I need is for the column beside the dates to show me a
categorization of different time periods:

for example. if 0 - 1 days have passed from the original date of May 1,
2006, then i need it to say O/N , if 2-7 days have passed since May 1,
2006, then i need it to say "2-7 days". if 8-15 days have passed, i
need it to say "8-15 days", the tricky part is that I need to see
whether dates fall in between the 16th day of the month and the Last
day of the month, so for example, in May, between May 16 and May 31,
then i need it to say "16 - End of Month". the problem is that months
have different amounts of days and i cant figure out how to capture
this part.

after that i categorize the sections as Month 2 if the date falls in
between June 1 June 30, then son on until for 3 months, 4-6 months,
7-12 months, >1 yr but less than 2 years, and >2 yrs.

i cant use the IF function becuase it only has 7 entries i can use.

Can anyone help me figure this, would i use vlookup, if and possibly
other functions combined? or maybe a macro?

I would appreciate all the help I get.

best regards.

=IF(AND(MONTH($A$1)=MONTH(A1),A1-$A$1>15),"16 - End of
Month",LOOKUP(A1-$A$1,{0,2,8},{"O/N","2 - 7 days","8 - 15 days"}))

what happens when the month moves on?

With 5/1/2006 in A1, put this in B2 and copy down..........

=LOOKUP(A2-$A$1,{0,2,8,16},{"o/n","2-7","8-15","End of Month"})

How about a macro?
Sub domonths()
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
For Each c In Range("a2:a" & lr)
endmonth = DateSerial(Year(c), Month(c) + 1, 1) - 1
If endmonth - c + 1 < 17 Then c.Offset(, 1) = "16-EOM"
If Day(c) < 16 Then c.Offset(, 1) = "'8-15"
If Day(c) < 8 Then c.Offset(, 1) = "'2-7"
If Day(c) < 2 Then c.Offset(, 1) = "O/N"
Next c
End Sub

Thank you so much to all for the help, but How would I add the rest of
the formula to calculate past the "end of month" period for 2 months 3
months, 4-6 months, 7-12 months, 2 yrs, >2yrs?

thank you once again and I greatly appreciate everyones help.

did you try my macro?

this seems to work for a continuing formula
=IF(EOMONTH(A2,0)-A2<16,"EOM",LOOKUP(DAY(A2),{0,2,8},{"o/n","2-7","8-15"}))
