The formula is in cell K2.Please Login or Register to view this content.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it works fine for me:
E F J K L 2K2: =IF(J2="","",IF(ISBLANK(E2),"Incomplete",IF(ISBLANK(F2),"Incomplete",""))) 3 x Incomplete 4 x 5 x x Incomplete 6 x 7 x x Incomplete 8 x x 9 x x x

Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
Copied "as is" and it works
Is there a formula in F2?
Ben Van Johnson
May be just
=IF(J2="","",IF(E2="","Incomplete",IF(F2="","Incomplete","")))
="" is empty string but not blank
blank = null
E2 and F2 each have date and time - no formulas.
I've tried deleting cell K2 and even deleting all of Column K and starting over. For some reason the formula isn't working for F2.
J2 has this formula :Is this causing the issue ?Please Login or Register to view this content.

Root:
Your formula gives the same result here ... F2 blank doesn't cause Incomplete to show.
.
Here is the workbook :
Due to the formula in J2, if F2 is blank, then J2 is blank ( "" ).
Then the formula in H2 returns "" because =IF(J2="" is true.
Through a chain of formulas in your workbook, J2="" when F2="". Thus, no "Incomplete".
.
How do I edit the formula so K2 remains blank if there is nothing to 'compute' and still track if E2 or F2 is blank and show INCOMPLETE ?
The other formulas cause J2 to be a null string when F2 is blank, which triggers causes the first IF to evaluate true.
Evaluate formula in steps
IF(""="","" ......
Maybe test F2 first...

Thisresults in the infamous #VALUE error.Please Login or Register to view this content.
Tried changing around E2 and F2 (which gets tested first) ... no go.

That is the part I'm trying to avoid.
Try
=IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"Incomplete","")
.
This worked !Does anyone see any potential issues with it ?Please Login or Register to view this content.
Ok, to prevent the incomplete filling the column..
=IF(B2="","",IF(OR(E2="",F2=""),"Incomplete",""))
.
Jonmo1:
Your last works great also !
