Default Help with a formmula change in a "flag" parameter!

Sorry about the name thing Steve. I don't mind Fred however lol.

Thanks for the formula update. The only thing I notice however is that the
"Return Referral Form to Referent" flag for all Hudson classes is now
occuring after day 63, as opposed to after day 45. The triggering of this
flag for classes other than Hudson is working correctly however. Suggestion
for what I need to adjust so that all Hudson classes (identified in Column N)
trigger the "Return Referral Form to Referent" after day 45. Again thank you
so much for your help!

Ok Fred, here you go:

=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on Time",
IF((K4="")*(TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10+35*(LEFT(N4,6)=" Hudson"),
AA4:AA12)), "Return Referral Form to Referent","")))

I think I'm dumb Ron (lol). For some reason I'm having difficulty inserting
that change and getting it to work. If you wouldn't mind, could you spell
the
whole formula out (using the change you just gave me) so I can merely copy
and paste?

MUCH THANKS!!!!

LEFT(N4,6)="Hudson"

instead of

N4="Hudson Sat. & Sun."

Your formula worked perfectly Ron!

One final question however..............Usually our class is "Hudson
Sat.
&
Sun.", however, sometimes our classes are "Hudson Sat", or "Hudson
Sun".
Is
there a way of using a wild card in the formula, so that any class in
Column
N which is a Hudson class (regardless of Sat, Sun, or Sat & Sun) can
trigger
the 45 day flag as you set up?

Thanks so much!

you could use:

=IF(H4="","",IF(K4"","",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on
Time",
IF(AND(K4="",TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,IF(N4="Hudson Sat. & Sun.",45,10),
AA4:AA12)), "Return Referral Form to Referent",""))))

but this (imho) is a little tidier:

=IF((H4="")+(K4""),"",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on
Time",
IF((K4="")*(TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10+35*(N4="Hudson Sat. & Sun."),
AA4:AA12)), "Return Referral Form to Referent","")))

The formula I have below in Column R works just fine. It creates a
flag
for
me (in Column R) that lets me know one of two things: “Client Failed
to
Enroll on Time”, and “Return Referral Form to Referent”. Here is
that
formula:

=IF(H4="","",IF(K4"","",IF(S4="Sent","Client Failed to Enroll on
Time",IF(AND(K4="",TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,10,AA4:AA12) ),"Return Referral
Form
to
Referent",""))))

The one change (addition) that I’d like to make, is this:

If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I’d like
the
following portion of the formula above to change:

TODAY()WORKDAY(H4,45,AA4:AA12))

Please note, that the only change in the string of formula above is
the
reference to when the flag “Return Referral Form to Referent” is
triggered.
In the original formula, this flag triggers in 10 days (excluding
holidays
and weekends) from the date of the referral (which we identify in
column
H).
If Column N is toggled to say “Hudson Sat. & Sun.”, than I want to
EXTEND
the
length of time in which this flag would trigger (making it trigger
at
45
days-as opposed to 10). The 45 days would continue to exclude
weekends
and
holidays as was true with the 10 day parameter.

Thanks in advance for any help!
