IF and dates
I have a multi row, multi column spreadsheet. Column E has a blank or a date
in each row. I am trying to write a formula that says IF there is a date AND E2+5.... Using the greater than sign doesn't work because it must be looking for a number. Pleas advise. =IF((AND(E2"",E2+5<$R$1)),"Yes","") |

You are right, it is looking for a number, as all dates are numbers, so why
don't you use E20 instead of E2""? -- John C "PAL" wrote: I have a multi row, multi column spreadsheet. Column E has a blank or a date in each row.

I tried this, but a blank is not a "0"

So what exactly is a "Blank"? Do you mean that the cell is empty...or is
there a space or some other non-visible character? Regards, Paul -- "PAL" wrote in message ...

IF and dates
A blank is treated as 0 by Excel in formulae like this - perhaps you
don't have a completely empty cell, but maybe it contains one or more spaces (or even character 160), so it might look blank to you. Hope this helps.

Maybe this:
=IF((AND(E2<"",E2+5<$R$1)),"Yes","") or =IF((AND(E20,E2+5<$R$1)),"Yes","") HTH, Paul -- "PAL" wrote in message ... I have a multi row, multi column spreadsheet.

Just got it like this,
=IF(E2="","",IF(AND(E20,E2+5<$R$1),"Yes","")) Thanks. "PCLIVE" wrote: Maybe this: =IF((AND(E2<"",E2+5<$R$1)),"Yes","") or =IF((AND(E20,E2+5<$R$1)),"Yes","") HTH, Paul -- "PAL" wrote in message ...

That seems to be a bit overkill. If the cell will either be blank or a
date, then you should just be able to check for the blank condition. =IF(AND(E2<"",E2+5<$R$1),"Yes","") Regards, Paul -- "PAL" wrote in message ...
