looking for a column formula that will populate a value based on the values of two other columns

Jose Tirado

Hello,

I have a column that calculate the health color of a task (green, yellow, red, grey) using a formula and another column where the task manager manually input the color he believes is the actual health of the task. I would like to have a third column (which we will use for reporting) that will shown the value of the column manually input by the manager and if the values of that column are empty, use the values from the auto calculated column. Any simple formula that I can use on this third column? Thanks in advance.

Not sure I follow!

Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

 In the attached PDF, the column "health calculated" is determined by a column formula and the values on the column "health assigned" are manually input by the user. I would like for the column named "health quad" to be auto calculated by a formula that would consider first any input on the column Health assigned, if the column health assigned is empty, then just fill the value of health calculated on the column health quad. I hope this is clearer, thanks for the help.
