Default Formulas in a column

Does anyone know how to make is so that you can have a formula set up for the
entire column in an Excel sheet that doesn't show the results until there is
data entered in the corresponding column?

I am trying to do the following:

Column C is where employees can enter the specific date and column G
automatically populates for three days out ($C3+3) The problem is that once I
fill this formula all the way down it shows a date even though there is no
information filled in yet for the corresponding row.

Any thoughts? Thanks again

Default Formulas in a column

Hello,

What i would do is, in cell G3 update your formula to =if(C3="","",C3+3)
then if cell C3 was blank G3 will also be blank. Then you can copy the
formula down to the rest of the column.
