    Auto populate cell based another cells data

    Hi all,

    I believe this is easy but I cannot find the answer, sorry guys and gals.

    If i populate cell A1 with a date, i simply want cell A2 to auto populate with the wording 'Complete'.

    any date in A1
    so A1 is simply NOT blank

    in A2
    =IF( A1<>"", "complete", "")

    You can't specifically check for a date, as a date is just a number to Excel, but try this in A2:

    =IF(OR(A1="",A1<=0),"",IF(ISNUMBER(A1),"Complete",""))

    Hope this helps.
