I have two column: In first column (A1) i have dates : 1st Jan 2008 In Second Column (B2) i have month : I have a formula as =A1 and with the use of Format Cell Custom Type mmm, yy. Now whatever date in put in A1 the month gets displayed in B2. I have copied the formula in the Column B. as equal to column A, Now if my Cell A2 is blank it gives me an output as Jan, 00 in my cell B2 I don't want Jan, 00 to be displayed in my Cell B2 if my cell A2 is blank. So i tried using Conditional formatting but it didn't clicked. Pls do help me regarding the same. Thanks Akash Maheshwari |

Conditional Formatting
Don't use conditional format try this instead in B1
if(A1="","",A1) the above formula if A1 blank will display nothing, else it will display the correct results. "Akash" wrote: Hi, Greetings!!
