    Addition to current formula

    In column A I have invoice date B I have "payment status" and C "actual payment date" and from B2 down I have the formula =IF(A2="","","unpaid") now this works, I also have column B on data val list so I can select "paid" from the drop down list once I've entered a date in column C. Is there a way to modify the formula so that it automatically changes to "paid" when a date is entered to C? I'm writing this from iPhone so apologies for any typos. Thanks in advance for any advice given.😃

    Re: Addition to current formula

    you would need to modify the title to reflect the question - see the rule below

    you can use a similar formula as you are using B

    =IF(A2="","",IF(C2="", "unpaid", "Paid"))

    this will check A2 and if there is no date it puts a blank into B
    if there is an entry in A2 - it will now check to see if there is an entry in C2 - if there is it will put unpaid - if not it puts paid

    the formula is checking only for an entry in the cells - so anything entered will be counted

    1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more days have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.
