Counting a Specific number of blank cells to reference a date

[itchy20]

Hi Folks,

I need help. I'm stuck! I've tried to implement a formula which I had help from here in getting - but I cannot make it work on my current data.
I have attached my file.

The formula is in 'Major Project Stats' B16

What I want to do is use the date specified in B3 to count a specific number (specified in B15) of blank cells on the 'Planner' sheet. So starting from the date in B3 count blank cells to reach the number of cells in B15 and return the associated row date to B16.

Can anybody make it work please? I just don't know what's wrong!!

=INDEX(Planner!B2:B1001,MATCH(B3,Planner!B2:B1001,0)+MAX(ROW(Planner!A1:A1000)*(COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(Planner!D1,MATCH(B3,Planner!B2:B1001,0),0,ROW(Planner!A1:A1000),22))<B15)*(COUNTBLANK(OFFSET(Planner!D1,MATCH(B3,Planner!B2:B1001,0),0,ROW(Planner!A2:A1000),22))>=B15)))

Thanks

Rich

What you looking for can you please tell us expected result with you conditions ???

So on the example spreadsheet attached and working with todays date (02/03/2016) then counting 90 blank cells would reach Cell H28 on the 'Planner' sheet. So then I want to return the date based on row 28, that would be Cell B28 on the 'Planner' sheet and my result would be 08/03/2016.

If it helps then I could change it to use cells containing a specific text string or numerical value rather than counting blank cells.
