Update formula so it ignores empty rows
Options
Hello. I am using the below formula to mark whether a task is overdue or not, and then highlight using conditional formatting those overdue tasks in red:
=IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false")
I would like to update the formula to ignore blank rows. How may I accomplish this?
Also, open to broader suggestions how to better accomplish this same goal. Thank you!

Something like this at the beginning perhaps?
=IF(Finish@row="","",
The double quotes "" populate a blank if there's a blank found, thus ignoring the them in your formula results.

=IF(Finish@row,"","",IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false"))

=IF(Status@row = "", "", IF(AND(Finish@row < TODAY(), Status@row <> "Complete"), "true", "false"))
I was missing an equal sign
