**=[AND](https://geekexcel.com/how-to-use-logical-function-and-in-excel-365/)([$A1](https://geekexcel.com/use-absolute-reference-in-excel-office-365-with-examples/)>=start,$A1<=end)**

## Syntax Explanations:

- **AND ** – This function will check all the conditions and returns [**TRUE**  ](https://geekexcel.com/use-true-function-in-microsoft-excel-365-simple-methods/)only when if all the conditions evaluated as true otherwise it returns **[FALSE](https://geekexcel.com/use-false-function-in-microsoft-excel-365-simple-methods/)**. Read more on the **[AND Function](https://geekexcel.com/how-to-use-logical-function-and-in-excel-365/)**.
- **Absolute Reference ($)** – It is an actual fixed location in a worksheet. Read more on **[Absolute Reference](https://geekexcel.com/use-absolute-reference-in-excel-office-365-with-examples/)**.
- **A1**  – It represents the input value.
- **Start & End Date** – It is the specified date that helps to format the cells.
- **Comma symbol (,)** – It is a separator that helps to separate a list of values.
- **Parenthesis ()** – The main purpose of this symbol is to group the elements.

## Practical Example:

Refer to the below example image.

- Here we will enter the input values in **Column B** to **Column E**.
- From these input dates, we want to find out the date between the two dates given in **Column G** and **Column H**.
