Good evening.  I have a spreadsheet for determining the due date for a police check to be done.  The formula I'm using is =EDATE(C34,35).  There are a few - for example a staff member on maternity leave where C34 = maternity leave rather than a date.  How can I make this a blank rather than an error?

 

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Sue,

wrap it in IFERROR e.g.

=IFERROR(EDATE(C34,35),"")

Regards

Phil

Thanks Phil

 

I had tried to do that, couldn't figure how the formula should be.  Greatly appreciated.

 

Regards
