Job status update by date
Mark Fannin 

5 years ago
My "job status" field need to be calculated between the jobstart and jobend date fields.  I need the "job status" field to reflect the current status by date.  Example: If today is before the start date then "not started" should be displayed.  If today is between the jobstart and jobend dates, then "in work" needs to be displayed.  If today is after the jobend date then "job completed" needs to be displayed.  Should I use a form?  Query?

After watching your IIF video for the tenth time I have a working formula.  A giant nested IIF statement with a two-part true, true, AND statement in the middle.  Not elegant but it really works!  
I figured it out after watching your IIF video for the tenth time.  It's long and ugly but it works !!
=IIf(Date()[jobstart],"Pending",IIf((Date()=[jobstart] And Date()=[jobend]),"Active",IIf(Date()[jobend],"Completed","")))

Great you found IIF, there's also Switch if it were to get any longer.
