Using MONTH formula with a blank date cell

Pepenav

I have been using the month formula to create a month number from an 'Actual close date' column.

however i get error when the source column 'Actual close date' is blank

I can get the month number to work when dates are included with =MONTH([Actual Close date]4)

and I can clear away error message if source is blank with  =IFERROR([Actual Close date]18, "")

but no matter how many times I try to work this I can't get a combined formula a to work

IE: when there is a date deliver the month number and when there is no date leave blank ( or even a 0 would be ok i think)

hope someone can help

Hi,

Try this.

=IFERROR(MONTH([Actual Close Date]@row); "")    

The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.  

=IFERROR(MONTH([Actual Close Date]@row), "")

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!
