USE THE TODAY FUNCTION TO CHECK FOR FUTURE DATES USING MICROSOFT EXCEL

How to Check for Future Dates? In a worksheet, dates in column A have to be checked to see if they are in the future. The actual date can be determined by using the TODAY function in Microsoft Excel and can be compared with the dates in the worksheet using the IF function of Microsoft Excel. If dates are in the future, the result in column B should be Y; otherwise, it should be N. 

To check for future dates:

1. In cell D1, type the formula =TODAY() to show the current date.
2. Select cells B2:B10 and type the following formula: =IF(A2<=TODAY(),"n","y").
3. Press <-Ctrl+Enter->.
