Using IF in an ArrayFormula in Google Sheets to check values in each column and not just a specific column

Question

I am trying to use ARRAYFORMULA() in Google Sheets to automatically apply a formula whenever a new row is entered. What I want is to check if today falls between two dates (a start and end date) or not. My formula:

=arrayformula(if(isblank(A2:A), "", if(and(today() >= B2, today() <= D2), "On Leave", "Available")))

That formula keeps checking against B2 and D2 for all rows inserted, so I tried this:

=arrayformula(if(isblank(A2:A), "", if(and(today() >= B2:B, today() <= D2:D), "On Leave", "Available")))

This second formula checks against all the values in column B and column D for every row, as against checking the respective value in column B and column D for that particular row eg row 3: B3, D3; row 4: B4, D4 etc.

Is there anyway I can get my desired behaviour? I've attached a screenshot of my sheet.

With the correct formula, Bruce Lee would not be on leave.

在数组公式中，您需要使用*（乘）而不是AND来获得所需的行为：

=arrayformula(if(isblank(A2:A), "", if((today() >= B2:B)*( today() <= D2:D), "On Leave", "Available")))
