    I need to leave a cell blank if there is no date in the cell otherwise it enters 1/00/00

    Hello All,
    I am working on invoices that show a running history of payments. If there is no payment received date in the cell, I would like to leave that cell blank otherwise, I would like the date entered in the cell. Thanks for any help!
    I should mention that I am pulling the data in from another worksheet.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    use if function to check the blanks and then enter the date if necessary
