1. Outer IF Statement

   • IF(C17="Complete", "Task Completed", ...
     • This checks if the status in cell C17 is "Complete". If true, it returns "Task Completed".

2. Second IF Statement (Nested)

   • IF(J17<TODAY(), "Overdue", ...
     • If the status is not "Complete", it evaluates the due date in J17. If the due date is less than today's date, it returns "Overdue".

3. Third IF Statement (Nested)

   • IF(J17=TODAY(), "Due Today", ...
     • If the due date is equal to today's date, it returns "Due Today".

4. Else Condition

   • "Upcoming"
     • If none of the above conditions are met (i.e., the due date is greater than today), it returns "Upcoming".

Practical Example

Scenario

• Cell J17 (Due Date): 2023-10-10
• Cell C17 (Status): Incomplete

Evaluations

1. If today's date is 2023-10-11, the formula will output:
   • Result: Overdue
2. If today's date is 2023-10-10, the formula will output:
   • Result: Due Today
3. If today's date is 2023-10-09 and the task is complete:
   • Cell J17: 2023-10-09
   • Cell C17: Complete
   • Result: Task Completed
4. If today's date is 2023-10-11 and the task is incomplete with a future date:
   • Cell J17: 2023-10-15
   • Cell C17: Incomplete
   • Result: Upcoming

Summary

This structured formula allows for efficient tracking of task deadlines and completion status, integrating multiple logical checks to provide a comprehensive overview of task status based on the due date and completion criteria.
