Hide formula error message

Hugh McKinney

Hi, I have set a formula up to add 7 working days to a date: The date is added once an action is completed.

=WORKDAY([Date]1, +(7))

If the source cell is empty I get the error message

#INVALID DATE TYPE

Is there any way to hide or remove the error message.

Thanks Hugh

=IFERROR(WORKDAY(Date1,7),"Date Needed")

make sure this formula is entered into a "Date" type column cell.  You could replace "Date Needed" with "" if you want no text to appear.

I recommend avoiding using an empty string "" if you can. If the cell is empty, someone might think it's blank and manually type a value in—which deletes the formula.

Thanks Brent, much appreciated.
