Ignoring the empty fields

tbittick

I could use some help with what I'm sure is very simple formula, but ya gotta start somewhere, right?

I want to trigger a Red Flag if the Due Date is Today or later.

This formula does the trick other than it immediately triggers a flag for all empty column fields.

=IF(TODAY() > [Due Date]6, 1, 0)

I know there is an =IF(ISBLANK([DUE DATE]) piece I'm sure needs to be involved I just know the syntax well enough... yet.

Or if there is a better formula to achieve this I'm all ears, or eyes as the case may be.

Any and all help appreciated.

Hi,

Try something like this.

=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]@row); ""; IF([Due Date]@row <= TODAY(); 1))

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

=IF(ISBLANK([Due Date]@row), "", IF([Due Date]@row <= TODAY(), 1))

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma."

Did it work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!
