example spreadsheet attached
what would be in the cell , will it ONLY be blank OR a date
or does the date come from a formula ? and so all the cell has a formula in it , and some are set to ""
a few ways to do this - BUT a nested IF is one
=IF( A1<>"", A1, IF( B1<>"", B1, IF( C1<>"", C1 , "" )))
The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -
Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again
HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK:, Fast answers need clear examples. Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
