Leave "formula cell J7" empty until H7 has a date.
I have the following formula in cell J7
=DATE(YEAR(H7),MONTH(H7)+6,DAY(H7)) This gives me a date in J7 that is 6 months forward from the date I will enter in H7. I would like J7 to stay empty (blank) until needed. Right now the formula works but I get a generic date in J7 of 6/30/00 and I not only don't know why, I would that not like that to happen. The date in J7 should be six months forward of H7. Sorry for being so verbose, I am always afraid I do not ask the right question. Thanks to all you experts in advance. For your time, your patience and your teaching capabilities. Mark |
