This tutorial will demonstrate how to use the IF Function with Dates in Excel and Google Sheets.
IF & DATE Functions
To use dates within IF Functions, you can use the DATE Function to define a date:
=IF(B3 > DATE(2020,1,1),"Delay","Ontime")
One example of this formula is to calculate if a payment is over due:
Payment Over Due
=IF(D3>=(B3+C3),"OVERDUE","ONTIME")

All of the above examples work exactly the same in Google Sheets as in Excel.
