Hi

I have an Excel spreadsheed like the one shown below

A             B
10.02.2007    10
10.03.2007    12

Column A is date and B is price of share

Now in another sreadsheet I need to create a new column called return In this column i need to place formula like = ln(B2/B1) but on condition that this formula is only applied date in column A is in range StartDate < currentDate < EndDate.

So I want to

apply my formula only to specific period say only to 2007 year
have new column placed in another spreadsheet starting from given location say A1
