Update formula so it ignores empty rows

Corey McCarren

Hello. I am using the below formula to mark whether a task is overdue or not, and then highlight using conditional formatting those overdue tasks in red:

=IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false")

I would like to update the formula to ignore blank rows. How may I accomplish this?

Also, open to broader suggestions how to better accomplish this same goal. Thank you!

Mr. Chris

Something like this at the beginning perhaps?

=IF(Finish@row="","",

The double quotes "" populate a blank if there's a blank found, thus ignoring the them in your formula results.

=IF(Finish@row,"","",IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false"))

Thank you for the responses! I get "INCORRECT ARGUMENT" with the above solution @Mr. Chris / @heyjay

heyjay

=IF(Status@row = "", "", 
IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false"))

I was missing an equal sign
