How can I ignore a blank cell in an IF formula?

I'm calculating the workdays between two days and updating the status in a different column. How do I make the formula ignore blank cells in the Install Difference column?

=IF([Install Difference]@row >= 21, "Late Over 4 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 11, "Late Over 2 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 2, "Late", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 1, "On Time", IF([Install Difference]@row < 1, "Early")))))

Hi @moorejr

You want to add an if statement around the formula above to state if [Install Difference]@row is not blank, …

So your formula would be

=IF([Install Difference]@row <> "", (IF([Install Difference]@row >= 21, "Late Over 4 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 11, "Late Over 2 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 2, "Late", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 1, "On Time", IF([Install Difference]@row < 1, "Early", "")))))), "")

Which would give the following results

If the blanks in the Install Difference column mean the install hasn't started yet you can change the above forumula to something like

=IF([Install Difference]@row <> "", (IF([Install Difference]@row >= 21, "Late Over 4 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 11, "Late Over 2 Weeks", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 2, "Late", IF([Install Difference]@row >= 1, "On Time", IF([Install Difference]@row < 1, "Early", "")))))), "Install Not Started")

to get

Hope this helps :)
