I have a spreadsheet that has dates in. The spreadsheet needs pre-poulated
boxes that are blank but will show dates once data has been input.

eg:
A B C D
34 NAME DATE FUTUREDATE
35 John 15/03/10 =C35+(7*6)
36

D36 Cell shows as 11/02/1900 when C36 is not populated but want i to show
blank until it is populated when I want the formula to kick in.

Hi,

try this

=IF(C36="","",C36+(7*6))

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
