Hi everyone,

I'm trying to return a blank expiration date (in the Soonest Expiration Date column) if someone has banked holiday hours then later used the hours in full, otherwise keep the expiration date in the cell. This is what I have so far:

=IF(AND({DECW Alternate Holiday Range 1}, "New Year's Day", {DECW Alternate Holiday Range 2}, "New Year's Day"), " ", [Soonest Expiration Date]@row) + IF(AND({DECW Alternate Holiday Range 1}, "Martin Luther King Jr. Day", {DECW Alternate Holiday Range 2}, "Martin Luther King Jr. Day"), " ", [Soonest Expiration Date]@row)

    Hi.. It sounds like you are trying to write a formula for a cell that already has a value and then replace the value if certain conditions are met and leave it alone if those conditions are not met. This cannot be done.

    You would need to create a second column that will equal the Soonest Expiration Date column unless those conditions are met. Think of it this way... the first column is where the "default" value is. Then the second column shows the "actual" value based on a bunch of conditions.

    I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, so I hope it helps.

    Be well
