Error when using =Month formula if no date in a column

Sean Corcoran

I am using the following formula:

=MONTH([Due Date]@row)

If my "Due Date" cell is empty I get the following error

#INVALID DATA TYP

I may not always know the Due Date until the project moves on for some task.

I am looking for away to modify the formula to ignore a blank Due Date and give me nothing or return a "0"

Any help would be greatly apricated

Hi @Sean Corcoran

I hope you're well and safe!

You can add an IFERROR function at the start of the formula and then "" at the end.

Something like this.

=IFERROR(MONTH([Due Date]@row), "")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
