Default some kind of Conditional format? - Baffled :(

Hi all,

I've got an issue where I need a formula that when I put a date (or any
value) in cell A1, the text 'Closed' is automatically entered in cell B1
- I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before (probably used it too), but
I've searched in vain - can anyone help?

TIA


Dave

Not conditional format, but in B1 you can use the formula
=IF(A1="","","Closed")

Or you could shorten that to =IF(LEN(A1)0,"Closed",""), as it is unlikely
that LEN will be negative. :-)

Or perhaps (in B1): =IF(ISBLANK(A1),"","Closed") ?
