Hi @Nilesh
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=IF([Date 1]@row = [Date 2]@row, [Date 2]@row, [Date 1]@row)
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Wouldn't that be the same as just displaying the first column no matter what? Or am I missing something?
=[Column A]@row

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply!
so, i want to compare dates of Date1 column and Date2 column. The idea is the output should be date 2 if both dates are matching otherwise it should be Date1.
Hope i explained!

If they are the same, it does not really matter which date you show. They are the same.
