Google Sheets Formula – Search Closest Future Date Including Current Week

formulasgoogle sheets

This array formula searches from a list of dates in Column A and returns the closest future date from today:

=ArrayFormula(MIN(IF(A2:A>TODAY(),A2:A)))

Column A:

8/4/2017
8/11/2017
8/8/2017
8/25/2017
9/1/2017

Today is 8/25/2017. We want it to select 8/25/2017, not 9/1/2017.

How do we fix the formula to include TODAY and future dates? (Not just future date because it's selecting future date on the actual date.)

Best Answer

Start the cut off one day earlier:

  =ArrayFormula(MIN(IF(A2:A>TODAY()-1,A2:A))) 

(I have deducted 1 from TODAY.)
