[mso] Re: excel IF statement help

You need to plan out your IF checks more carefully, probably.  For instance

  IF($Date of Sale<TODAY()-90,"", IF($Date of Sale<TODAY()-60,"",

The first part of this is redundant, as the second part will do the work for 
both.  So have a careful look at the actual comparisons you need.

As I see it, the only time you put a value in is when the sale is more than 
30 days old but not more than 60 days old.

Again, it looks as though there is no actual test for 0 to 30 days old, and 
you are missing a value from the "else" part of the >Today test.

Probably, though, you're suffering from not using an "and" condition in a 
simple test ...

  =If(And(DateOfSale>=Today()-30,DateOfSale<Today()),$C$13,"")
