RYG ball based on due dates
I already have a formula created that automates the RYG ball based on due dates...
=IF(Complete1 = 1, "Gray", IF([Due Date]1 < TODAY(+3), "Red", IF(AND([Due Date]1 >= TODAY(+3), [Due Date]1 < TODAY(+7)), "Yellow", IF([Due Date]1 >= TODAY(+7), "Green", "Nope"))))
What im having an issue with is whenever the cell in the due date column is blank, the RYG ball automates to red. I would like to automate it to Gray whenever the cell block is empty but everytime i plug the IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]1), "Gray" it doesn't do what i need it to. If i put it in the beginning it doesn't allow me to have a date before today (Like if I need to back date something), at the end it does nothing and anywhere else makes it "unparsable" or "invalid".
here is a screenshot of the sheet

Hi,
Try changing the first part of the formula with this.
=IF(OR(Complete1 = 1; Complete1 = ""); "Gray";
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(OR(Complete1= 1, Complete1 = ""), "Gray",
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!

Hello,
Happy to help! If you desire to have Status turn grey if the [Due Date] is blank you can achieve this by placing the ISBLANK Function at the beginning of the formula.
I've successfully achieved your desired goal utilizing this formula:
=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]@row), "Gray", IF(Complete@row = 1, "Gray", IF([Due Date]@row < TODAY(+3), "Red", IF(AND([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(+3), [Due Date]@row < TODAY(+7)), "Yellow", IF([Due Date]@row >= TODAY(+7), "Green", "Nope")))))
Please let us know if you have any questions on the above.
Cheers,
Eric
