Removing Condition if the Value is blank

Ryan Jared

I have a formula that shows the Status of a milestone and it currently reads the due date (Finish) and automatically updates to off track if the due date has passed and the status if not in at risk or completed. However, I cant seem to get the formula to the point where it will not mark the milestone as off track if there is no date in the Finish column. Currently my formula looks like this.

=IF(AND(Finish1 < TODAY(), Status1 <> "At Risk", Status1 <> "Completed"), "Off Track")

Any ideas on how I can add a cell ISBLANK don't mark as off track condition to this?

=IF(ISBLANK(Finish1), "No Date", IF(AND(Finish1 < TODAY(), Status1 <> "At Risk", Status1 <> "Completed"), "Off Track"))

That should do the trick.

Just a paren placement issue I think and also an OR instead of an AND. Try:

=IF(OR(ISBLANK(Finish10), Status10 = "N/A"), "No Date", IF(AND(Finish10 < TODAY(), Status10 <> "Complete"), "Past Due"))

=IF(ISBLANK(Finish1), "No Date", IF(AND(Finish1 < TODAY(), Status1 <> "At Risk", Status1 <> "Completed"), "Off Track"))

That should do the trick.

Yes it did, Thank you!

No problem. Glad it's working.

I hit a roadblock that I didn't anticipate and was hoping you could help again.

I didn't take into account rows were the Status is "N/A" and the Finish date is Blank. I tried to solve it using the below but it's coming back #UNPARSEABLE. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? The bold is what i have added.

=IF(AND(ISBLANK(Finish10), Status10 <> "N/A", "No Date"), IF(AND(Finish10 < TODAY(), Status10 <> "Complete"), "Past Due")))
