How to autofill the status
Hello,
I need to setup a formula to have the status auto updated/filled whenever the date is entered on "EUDC Date in" column.
at the moment "Status" is a drop down menu and we are manually selecting the status.
Thanks
Kashmala

Hi @Kashmala Zaman
Hope you are fine, please try the following formula in Status column and convert it to column format formula.
=IF(ISBLANK([EUDC date in]@row), "", "arrived at EUDC")
the following screenshot shows the result.

Excellent!
You're more than welcome!
Try something like this. (change the order if needed)
=IF([Customer received]@row <> ""; "Delivered to customer"; IF([Shipped from plant]@row <> ""; "In Transit"; IF([EUDC date in]@row <> ""; "Arrived at EUDC"; "")))
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did that work?

Hi @Kashmala Zaman ,
Try creating an automation like this:
Please note that, when I did it, I had to hit refresh after I entered the date. Also - if any of the dates in ETA EUDC are revised, the EUDC date in value will change to the date it was last revised.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Heather

Thank you but i don't understand how the status column will be changed with this automation ?
I want the status column to be updated as per appropriate comments such as "arrived at EUDC " once the date is filled in on the EUDC date in Column.

I hope you're well and safe!
Do you need to have any other Status in the status column, or is it only the one described?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thank you Bassam.M Khalil. it does work.
Andrée Starå, thank you for asking this question because i actually do have other statuses to appear in the 'status' column and i feel stupid not to ask question correctly. so my question now is:
i have 3 statuses to auto filled in the 'status' column and all statuses are to be linked with dates filling in separate columns.
status 'In Transit' to appear when we fill the date in the column " shipped from plant"
status ' Arrived at EUDC' to appear when we fill the date in the column " EUDC date in"
status 'Delivered to customer' to appear when we fill the date in the column " Customer received"
Please let me know if its possible. Thanks
