Help with Status and Date Columns
Hello, I am having trouble with a formula.
I have 3 date columns, and 1 status column. I would like the status to change with the input of a date in the columns.
Here is the reasoning for the question. I have "Ready Date", A "Start Date", and a "Complete Date". When a date is in the "Ready Date" column, I want the status column to show "Ready", when there is a date in the "Ready Date" and "Start Date" columns, I want the status to show "Started". When there is a date in the "Ready Date", "Start Date", and "Complete Date", I want the status to be "Complete".
I will need all date field to be put in before the status will change, being that someone cannot start until they are ready. Is this something that can be done?

=IF(ISDATE([Ready Date]#)=0,"",IF(ISDATE([Start Date]#)=0,"Ready",IF(AND((ISDATE([Start Date]#),ISDATE([Complete Date]#)=0,"Started","Complete")))
Try that

There's an error in the previous formula.
The AND is not properly closed.
=IF(ISDATE([Ready Date]23) = 0, "", IF(ISDATE([Start Date]23) = 0, "Ready", IF(AND(ISDATE([Start Date]23), ISDATE([Complete Date]23)) = 0, "Started", "Complete")))
For row 23.
The AND is not really needed, as the previous IF determined the Start Date contains a date.
=IF(ISDATE([Ready Date]23) = 0, "", IF(ISDATE([Start Date]23) = 0, "Ready", IF(ISDATE([Complete Date]23) = 0, "Started", "Completed")))
