Default IF Function with ISBLANK

Biff,
"x" or "z" are literal. I figured I needed to define a consistent
value to check for. I'm not sure how to use the wild card so I could
use some help on that.

-Thanks

'4' or a 'z' at the end of the date to bring back an '8'.


Yes, that's exactly what you need to do. Are "x" and "z" genreric
placeholders or do you want to look for literal "x" or "z" ?

If they're generic placeholders then they need to be defined somehow.
