Help with some code please

[Gareth]

I have a sheet containing details of cattle.

Column A has the eartag, columns C, D and E have the date
moved on, off and death.

Columns I and J have a date range (two months).

I want to check whether:

1. Date on falls within the date range, put result in
column K
2. Date off falls within the date range, put result in
column L
3. Date of death falls within the date range, put result
in column M

I have managed to do it using the following but is there
an easier way, possibly not involving entering formula.

Sub CheckDateRange()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set movedon = .Range("C2:C" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End
(xlUp).Row)
Set movedoff = .Range("D2" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End
(xlUp).Row)
Set died = .Range("E2:E" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End
(xlUp).Row)
For Each cell In movedon
cell.Offset(0, 8).Value = "=IF(AND(RC[-8]>=RC[-2],RC[-8]
<=RC[-1]),""Yes"",""No"")"
Next cell
For Each cell In movedoff
cell.Offset(0, 8).Value = "=IF(AND(RC[-8]>=RC[-3],RC[-8]
<=RC[-2]),""Yes"",""No"")"
Next cell
For Each cell In died
cell.Offset(0, 8).Value = "=IF(AND(RC[-8]>=RC[-4],RC[-8]
<=RC[-3]),""Yes"",""No"")"
Next cell
..Range("K2:N" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Copy
..Range("K2").Activate
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1").Activate
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Thanks in advance.

Gareth,
You could use conditional formating to color the cells in K, L, & M
by just using your formulas to set the conditions. Set it up once and
forget it. No formulas needed in the cells. And it will work on the entire
column.

Gareth,

To put "Yes" or "No" in the cells you'll need formulas.
To use one color for Yes and another color for No you can use conditional
formating.

Of course you can use a worksheet change event to evaluate you're entries
and enter the text. But you'll still need to put the formulas in the code.

I wasn't clear enough in my first post, K, L and M have to
be 'Yes' or 'No'.
