    How do I make a column blank until data is entered? 1/14/1900 and 44028

    Today's date + 14 days as a "payment due day", then next column is "number of day" overdue.

    How do I make a column blank on column E and 0 on column F?

    See attachment for sample, Thanks

    Re: How do I make a column blank until data is entered? 1/14/1900 and 44028

    In E3 =IF(D3="","",D3+14)
    In F3 =IF(E3="","",TODAY()-E3)
    Similar formulas for the other columns

    and pull both down
    Your column F is formatted as text. Format as General Hit F2 and Enter

    BTW your sheet is way too heavy for so little data
    See https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mi...orkbook-bloat/ on how to solve this

    And, IMO be aware that IFERROR hides ALL errors which might not be what you want

    When I am using this one, the cell is empty which is great. When I entered the Date on D column, it shown -14. How can I make it 0 instead of showing negative number. Thanks

    I don't understand ( again a small sheet example would do wonders) but perhaps IF(OR(E3>today(),E3=""),"",TODAY()-E3)
