Date Formula Problem - Leave date blank if Null
I have a multiconditional formula which finds the earliest date of all
entries where all these conditions are met. If an entry does not consist of all these conditions, I just want the cell left blank. How do I do that? I have tried putting ,"" at the end of the formula but it still doesnt work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. MIN(IF((report!$D$2:$D$3001=$A$3)*(report!$I$2:$I$ 3001=$A$11)* (report!$J$2:$J$3001=$A14)*(report!$K$2:$K$3001=$A 15)* (report!$B$2:$B$30010),report!$B$2:$B$3001)) |

You might be better off using conditional formatting to "hide" the zero. You
could write the blank into the formula but then it'll be twice as long. =IF((cond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5),MIN((c ond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5)*rng),"") Conditional Format: Select the cell with the formula Goto FormatConditional Formatting Formula Is: =cell_ref=0 Set the Font color to be the same as the fill color Ok out Biff "Gayla" wrote in message ...

Try it like this (array entered):
=IF(SUM((cond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5)),M IN(IF((cond1)*(cond2)*(cond3)*(cond4)*(cond5),rng) ),"") Biff "T. Valko" wrote in message ... Eh! Disregard that formula!

Thanks for the info. I used your first suggestions about the conditional
formatting. I did not think of that. So I just used the option if cell value =0 then I formatted the font color to match the cell background and it works great! Thanks again. "T.

Yeah, I think that was your best option.
