Fill in Status based on multiple combinations

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to automatically populate a column in a column, based on data in 2 other columns.


I want the status to populate "Open" or "Closed" based on the information in the Closure Date and Opening Date columns.


Blank Closure Date and Blank Opening Date = "Open"

Closure Date Present, Opening Date Blank= "Closed"

Closure Date Present, Opening Date Present = "Open"

I've tried several If / And formula's but haven't been able to crack them.


Thanks!

    Try this:

    =if((isblank([Closure Date]@row), if((isblank([Opening Date]@row),"Open","Invalid Entry"), if((isblank([Opening Date]@row),"Closed","Open"))


    I assumed that blank closing and present opening dates are invalid entries because that wasn't defined in your question, but you could change that to whatever you want.
