    Problem with empty date cell when transfer to other worksheet, shows 0/1/1900

    Hello,

    In one cell I am entering date and want to get it in another worksheet.

    I use the formula ='FLEET DATA'!F19 where FLEET DATA is the name of the worksheet.

    When I have an empty cell i get in the other worksheet 0/1/1900 and not an empty cell as I want.

    any help?

    Thank you!

    you could use an If statement

    =if('FLEET DATA'!F19 = "","",FLEET DATA'!F19 )

    If you enter a number in a A1 lets says 4
    in A2 you enter =A1 you get 4 in A2 the value of A1 passes to A2.
    if you delete A1 you get 0 in A2, the value still passes to A2.

    If you enter a date in A1 and then delete it the value still gets passed to A2.
    0/1/1900 is the equivalent of 0 in Excel's date system.

    Your formula should read

    =IF(A1=0,"",A1)

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thank you but problem fixed!!

    I used the following

    =IF('FLEET DATA'!B10=01/1/1900;"";'FLEET DATA'!B10)
    for dates and
    =IF('FLEET DATA'!B10=0;"";'FLEET DATA'!B10)
    for text

    So now i get empty cells instead of 0/1/1900 or 0
