Hi

I need to create an if formula to do the following:

 

if date in column a is blank use date in column b, if date in column a is greater than date in column b use date in column a, if date in column b is greater than date in column a use date in column b, if columns a and b are blank leave as blank

presume this can be done as nested formulas, but at the moment my mind is blank

 

any help would be appreciated

Hi Catherine

You can try

=IF(AND(A1+B1)=0,"",MAX(A1,B1))

You did not mention what if A1=B1 and both are not blanks? What do you want to do with it?

Sunny
