Date cell format
Hi. In a date column, if I leave the cell empty nothing is displayed. If I add a formula =IF(B40,B4+180,0), however, I get
1/0/1900. Question. Is there any way to surpress 1/0/1900? If there's no value, I want to see an empty cell. Thanks for any advice...Dennis |

Change the formula to =IF(B40,B4+180,"") which will make the cell blank

Hi again. There's a problem. If I have D5 with the formula =IF(B40,B4+180,""). then another column with a formula
=IF((D50)*(F5(D5+180)),"PAST DUE","-") it won't work. How can I use D5, which might be a date or a ""?

accordingly set the value. - Manges -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

One, does excel have a function to determine a cell's type, be it date or text? In JavaScript you have typeof(). Two, does excel stop conditional testing? In Javascript, if you have if (typeof(a)=="string" & a < "g"), if the variable 'a' is numeric you never see a < "g" executed...Dennis |

Excel evaluates all the conditions.
I can't see the whole thread, so I don't know the specifics, but you can use isdate to see if a value can be interpreted as a date. Excel has a typeof construct if type of object1 is object2 Then there is also vartype But for most tests, a date is a number, so there is no way to differentiate a number from a date for the most part. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dennis Allen" wrote in message ...

Date cell format
Well, the problem is a cell referencing another cell, of type date, displaying 1/0/1900. I could use IF(B33<0,B33,""), but then
other cells would have to test for either a date or a string. To avoid the whole mess, I'll just create a hidden column for the date and the displayed column will do the IF() test...Dennis "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... Excel evaluates all the conditions.

Wouldn't the other cells have to test for a zero anyway? Since you don't
seem to accept 0 as a valid date, then it seems the other cells/formulas shouldn't either. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dennis Allen" wrote in message ...

The hidden column will have the numeric date. Other cells will use that hidden column date in their formulas. The displayed date
column will do the IF(B33<0,B33,"") and will not be used in any formulas...Dennis "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ... Wouldn't the other cells have to test for a zero anyway?
