Hi Everyone :)

Having trouble putting the following statement together. I have various dates in column A and column B with some blanks mixed in.

I need a statement in column C that will show the earliest date between column A & B. If both columns are blank then I need a return of: "Still in Progress". Can anyone help?

Thanks!

The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

Are you wanting a result for each row?

What if there's only one date on the row?

Maybe this...

=IF(COUNT(A2:B2),MIN(A2:B2),"Still in Progress")

Format as Date
