Hi

I wonder if someone can help me with a formula, it's probably simple but i am really stuck!!
:confused:
I have three columns of dates, A1 = Date Booked B1 = Proposed Date C1= Visit Date

01/01/01 02/01/01 02/01/01
01/01/01 02/01/01 03/01/01 "Request other Date"
01/01/01 02/01/01 "Request other Date"

The formula i am using at the moment is =IF(b2<>c2,"Requested other date","") but if i have a blank cell in the B column i don't want it to return "Requested other Date" like it does in my example, i would like it to come back blank

Look forward to knowing the answer:)
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
How about

=IF(ISBLANK(B2),"",IF(B2<>C2,"Requested other date",""))

?
