Help with IF statement

[bellashahar]

I need help with a formula.

Basically it's just H10-L10 (both are dates), however some in H and some in L show #VALUE! (this really can't be helped until data is populated).

So in my formula I would prefer if H or L has #VALUE! to return a blank cell instead of another #VALUE!

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using Excel 2007 or later

IFERROR(H10-L10,"",H10-L10)

if you are using an earlier value of excel:-

IF(ISERR(H10-L10),"",H10-L10)

This will also work on Excel 2007.Thanks

Try

=IF(OR(ISERROR(H10),ISERROR(L10)),"",H10-L10)

You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the help!!

 

[bellashahar]

So I used VoG's formula

=IF(OR(ISERROR(H10),ISERROR(L10)),"",H10-L10)

Now is there a way to add something to color the cell if the dates fall in the same month? Like if H10 and L10 are both June then color the cell green. Or if the dates fall within two weeks of current date to color the cell yellow?

Again, thanks so much in advance for the help.

If you are using Excel 2007 or later

IFERROR(H10-L10,"",H10-L10)

Wouldn't it just be this? (Edit: per rwheeler formula in post #2)

IFERROR(H10-L10,"")

... however some in H and some in L show #VALUE! (this really can't be helped until data is populated).

It could be helped, by changing the formula that is producing the #VALUE error. The suggestions below are doing just that for your next formula, so presumably it could also be done for cells in column H and L. If you want to investigate that possibility, start by giving a current formula from column H and column L.

You can use conditional formatting to color the cells based on certain conditions. Depending on which version of Excel you are using, find the conditional formatting button and select "New Rule". Choose the option that allows you to use a formula to determine which cells to format. In the rule description, paste "=MONTH(H10)=MONTH(L10)" for the "Same Month" rule and the click "Format" to specify what color to maek the cell if the condition is true.

For the "Less than 2 weeks" Rule, use "=(H10-L10)<14"

Hope this helps

I'm not sure this is working right. I need it for all of H and L, not just row 10. Is that possible? or do manually have to create a new rule for each cell?
