    Contents blank - formula remain

    Hello

    We have a spreadsheet set that has three columns of dates, the first column will be entered manually, the next two columns will be formulated to be 7 days after the first date, and then 3 days after the second date.

    Can you set these cells to have no information in them unless the first cell is entered manually

    The issue I have is that if there is no data in cell 2 and 3 i still have to have a date within these cells as if i delete the cell the formula also is deleted?

    Is there a way that the 3rd column formula can add 3 workdays instead of 3 standard days
