Formula to flag overdue tasks

Options

I've got a formula that flags overdue tasks, but it flags every task with no date. Is there a way to omit nulls?

=IF(Status@row <> "Complete", IF(Finish@row > TODAY(), 0, 1))

    add an if statement at the beginning of your formula that looks at the date column.

    =if(date@row <>””,IF(Status@row <> "Complete", IF(Finish@row > TODAY(), 0, 1)))
