Default If Date Null Show Nothing

I changed it to drillers's version since it covers the OR option just
in case.

It is right to assume that B7:B10 will not return an error result ONLY if
such are made of hard data - not a result from a series of formulas,,,
to be rest assured in getting rid of any NULL and 1/0/1900

just adjust a little more with this formula

=IF(or(ISERROR(MAX(B7:B10)),MAX(B7:B10)=0),"",MAX( B7:B10))

BJ left a bracket out of his formula - try this:


=IF(MAX(B7:B10)=0,"",MAX(B7:B10))


The other formula (with ISERROR) will not work, as the MAX function
will not return an error in your situation - it will return zero, which
will get displayed as 1/0/1900.


Hope this helps.

I Tried =if max(B7:B10)=0,"",Max(B7:B10)) it gives me an error
(B7:B10) is the actual Range,


I tried =IF(ISERROR(MAX(B7:B10)),"",MAX(B7:B10)) No errir but the date
still stays at 1/0/1900

Hello All:
I am Using The =MAX(A1:A5) to pick the most recent date from the given
range. The Problem I am having is that if the Range is Null no date I
get the Date 1/0/1900, Is there any way we can have it not show any
dates if the range is null. I had the similar problem with calculating
percentiles and I tried to adopt variations of that to this but not
working
