Link cells or IF Function

I am newish to SS and I'm trying to pull data between 2 sheets and I'm not sure if I need to use the Link cell function, IF Formula or if there is another formula I should use. But here is what I am trying to achieve.


I have 2 sheets, #1 and #2. On sheet #2 I want to pull a date from #1 but the date pulled would be based on 2 different cells (not next to each other), which every has a date entered. Sheet #1 will only have a date entered in one or the other cells, based upon how the project moves along. I want sheet #2 cell to remain blank, until said date is entered

Thanks for the help!

    It can be done.

    I'd use an Index(Match( formula, but I'd need to see more information about your 2 sheets in order to help you build the formula.

    Can you show screen shots of the columns in each sheet - including what's in common between the sheets (how to match the right dates in sheet1 to the right dates in sheet 2?)

  • Sorry for the slow response, it's been a busy week.

    So I need the Parcel Closed cells on sheet #2 to pull a date from either Deed Closed or Deposit Made 30% whichever has a date entered. I'm not sure what you mean by show what is in common

    Parcel Close Sheet #2

    Deed Closed Sheet #1

    Deposit Made 30% Sheet 1
