I'm working with Google Sheets and Google App Scripts1 for retrieve search results from YouTube - by using YouTube Data API - and write those search results in batch on a sheet.
What I'm trying to accomplish is:
Compare the publish date of the video (values in "C" column) and compare it with the current date (i.e. today's date).
If the video was published today, then, write (on the cells in "E" column) the word: NEW!, otherwise, leave it blank.
I'm looking for a formula that can be set on the cell - rather than just modifying the script and clear the whole column (or a range) everytime the script starts running and rewriting the word if the condition is met1.
I tried modifying these formulas shared on this answer and this answer, but, I haven't figured out how to deal with dates on Google Sheets.
Sample:
Video_ID | Title | Date Uploaded | Video link | ¿Is New Video? | Desired output |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

This is the link of the sample spreadsheet.
1 I'm using GAS for retrieve the data and I want to avoid calling for write/clear cells/ranges from the script due to GAS limitations - (if the script takes five minutes or more, a timeout exception is raised and the script is interrumpted).

try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(IF(TODAY()=INDEX(SPLIT(C2:C, "T"),, 1), "NEW!", )))
delete everything in E column and use this formula in E1 cell:
={"¿Is New Video?"; ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(IF(TODAY()=
INDEX(SPLIT(C2:C, "T"),, 1), "NEW!", "OLD VIDEO")))}
