Need to create a flag based off of a date column and today's date

Question

I have a spreadsheet with random dates in column A. I want to create a flag (Y) for anything that is >= 3 days from today's date. To get a little more complicated, I would like to add another level to this formula. I was thinking an IF(AND statement but can't figure out how to structure it, that says: if the date in A2 is >= 3 days from today's date and B2 = "Y" then Y.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Please try:

=IF(AND(ABS(TODAY()-A2)>=3,B2="Y"),"Y","")  

copied down to suit.

However your question is not clear at least about (i) what is where and (ii) whether >= 3 days is both forwards and backwards, or not. Also, for one of the triggers and one of the results to be the same may be confusing.
