I am trying to test a cell ad see if it is blank and if it is return a blank the target cell. If it isnt blank I want the rest of the statement to run.

My syntax is wrong somewhere.....

Code:
IF(C4 = "","",(OR(AND(TODAY() <> E4,F4="Complete"),AND(TODAY() < E4,F4="In progress")),LOOKups!$D$2,LOOKups!$D$3))

???Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
If you need to do two IF tests then you need two IFs.

=IF(C4 = "","",IF(OR(AND(TODAY() <> E4,F4="Complete"),AND(TODAY() < E4,F4="In progress")),LOOKups!$D$2,LOOKups!$D$3))

Code:
IF(C4 = "","",(OR(AND(TODAY() <> E4,F4="Complete"),AND(TODAY() < E4,F4="In progress"))))

This is one formula, the rest is not included.

If you want a nested formula, you could use IFS() (if your Excel version allows for it).
Code:
IFS(test1, value, test2, value, test3, value...)

Otherwise, you are missing a second (nested) IF() function within the IF() function you already have.

e.g.

Code:
IF(C4="","",IF(OR(AND(TODAY() <> E4,F4="Complete"),AND(TODAY() < E4,F4="In progress"))=TRUE,[COLOR=#333333]LOOKups!$D$2,LOOKups!$D$3))[/COLOR]

That works well and does not populate the target field if C4 is blank - thanks........but it only ever display $D$2 now even if TODAY() < E4. I need this to input $D$3 into the target cell

Code:
IF(OR(AND(TODAY() <> E4,F4="Complete"),AND(TODAY() < E4,F4="In progress"))=TRUE,LOOKups!$D$2,LOOKups!$D$3)

Let me deconstruct the formula for you

Code:
IF(test, value if test = true, value if test = false)
[COLOR=#ff0000]OR([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000cd]AND([/COLOR]test1,test2[COLOR=#0000CD])[/COLOR], [COLOR=#008000]AND([/COLOR]test3,test4[COLOR=#008000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000])[/COLOR] 'if either test1 and test2 are true, or if test3 and test4 are true

So, in what I wrote, you check if either TODAY() <> E4 and F4="Complete", or if TODAY() < E4 and F4="In progress"
If either of these is true, then you want the value from LOOKups!$D$2
If neither are true, then you want LOOKups!$D$3
