Returning date instead of 'not null'
Greetings all. I am trying to get a return in an "IF" statement only if the
cell has a date in it. The cell has a formula that pulls from a third cell. How do I get a response only if a date has been filled in? =IF(ISBLANK('TRACKER '!$AR7),'TRACKER '!$B7,"") Cell $AR7 has a formula in it that scans a range of cells and fills in a date if they are all populated. The above formula always leaves a blank because of the formula in the AR7 cell. Suggstions? Thanks, Steve |
Returning date instead of 'not null'
Use this instead
=IF('TRACKER '!$AR7="",'TRACKER '!$B7,"") ISBLANK only works for empty cells not cells with formulas -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Skeeterj" wrote in message ... Greetings all.

If the formula in AR7 returns a formula blank then the ISBLANK function
evaluates to FALSE. ISBLANK is incorrectly named. It should've been named ISEMPTY. There is a difference between an empty cell and a "blank" cell although Excel seems to think they're the same sometimes!!! Try it like this: =IF(COUNT('TRACKER'!$AR7),'TRACKER'!$B7,"") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Skeeterj" wrote in message ... Greetings all.

ISBLANK() will not return true if you have a formula in that cell. Try
=IF(ISNUMBER('TRACKER '!$AR7),'TRACKER '!$B7,"") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Skeeterj" wrote: Greetings all.
