Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. The IF(ISBLANK) helped me string this to the first formula I had in my cell already.

[dantekapi]

I was working with dates and the result field showed up values when I dragged down the formula. I wanted to make sure the result field is blank everytime the related field is empty. Thank you now I know.😊

Isblank works for me, but the if doesn’t. I get the problem with formula statement. I used it exactly as you did too.
