Try this:

Format the cell as Date.

This post helped me TREMENDOUSLY. However, I have another variation:

so I'm using the formula =IF(B10="","",B10+14) and that works good.
But to really be accurate with my dates, I need to calculate a date that's
10 business days in the future using the WORKDAY function, AND how to make
that formula not appear on my spreadsheet until a value is entered. Can
you
help?

One more Question.....

How would I word that if I wanted to do more than one column. IE:
BK2+BL2+120

This means that you put a formula in the other cell--but it evaluates
to what
looks like an empty cell until you put something in BK2.

I truely have no idea what that means. I know how to create the
formula, but
I need to know how to make that formula not appear on my spreadsheet
until a
value is entered into (what I'm calling) BK2.

I have a very elaborate spreadsheet that is used by most of the
people in my
office. I have three columns that contain formulas that calculate
30, 60 &
120 days from the date keyed into a specific column (ie: =bk2+30).
Before a
date is entered into [bk2] the date that is displayed is a standard
date
1/30/00. I know that you can hide anything that has a zero in that
column,
but how do you hide that date until an actual date is keyed into
[bk2]? Is
that even possible?
