Default Date Formula Problem - Leave date blank if Null

You might be better off using conditional formatting to "hide" the zero. You
could write the blank into the formula but then it'll be twice as long.

=IF((cond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5),MIN((c ond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5)*rng),"")

Conditional Format:

Select the cell with the formula
Goto FormatConditional Formatting
Formula Is: =cell_ref=0
Set the Font color to be the same as the fill color
Ok out

I have a multiconditional formula which finds the earliest date of all
entries where all these conditions are met. If an entry does not consist
of
all these conditions, I just want the cell left blank. How do I do that?
I
have tried putting ,"" at the end of the formula but it still doesnt work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
MIN(IF((report!$D$2:$D$3001=$A$3)*(report!$I$2:$I$ 3001=$A$11)*
(report!$J$2:$J$3001=$A14)*(report!$K$2:$K$3001=$A 15)*
(report!$B$2:$B$30010),report!$B$2:$B$3001))
