I have 3 columns that may or may not contain dates.

I want to count if they are blank.

Take that number and subtract from 3.


Once an employee hits their 90 days working there is a formula to enter the 3 at that time which why you see the fx there.

    Hello @Elizabeth Aird

    Are you trying to determine Sick Days Used, or Sick Days Available (from 3)? Sick Days Used can be counted directly using the formula below.

    =COUNTIFS([Sick Day 1]@row:[Sick Day 3]@row, ISDATE(@cell))

    Sick Days Available

    =3-COUNTIFS([Sick Day 1]@row:[Sick Day 3]@row, ISDATE(@cell))
