How can I edit this formula to have a blank End Date field also input Active into the column?
=IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), "Inactive", "Active")

Hey @Delilah
Did you try @Andrée Starå's formula?
I did notice there was a potential typo with the "End Date" column reference, so just make sure you replace the column names with your column names:
=IF([End Date]@row = "", "Active", IF([End Date]@row < TODAY(), "Inactive", "Active"))

Hi @Delilah
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IF([End Date]@row = "", "Active", IF([End Datef]@row < TODAY(), "Inactive", "Active"))
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
Best,
