Hi, If you could please assist with the formula below? The formula works perfect, except for when no date is entered in the Planned start date. Currently when no date is entered in the Planned start column the RGB ball stays "Red", and i would like it to show "".

Current formula:

=IF([Kick-Off Meeting Actual Finish]1 <> ""; "Green"; IF([Kick-Off Meeting Planned Start]1 < TODAY(); "Red"; ""))

Thanks

Tonna

    Hi Tonna,

    Try something like this.

    =IF([Kick-Off Meeting Actual Finish]@row <> ""; "Green"; IF(ISBLANK([Kick-Off Meeting Planned Start]@row); ""; IF([Kick-Off Meeting Planned Start]@row < TODAY(); "Red")))

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

    =IF([Kick-Off Meeting Actual Finish]@row <> "", "Green", IF(ISBLANK([Kick-Off Meeting Planned Start]@row), "", IF([Kick-Off Meeting Planned Start]@row < TODAY(), "Red")))

    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 weekend!

    Best,
