    Leaving a cell with formula blank if the data cell is blank

    Hi There,

    I'm trying to create a cell that shows the 14 days from the start date I've tried =B1+14
    with B1 being a date. That works perfectly however when I copy the formula down the column because there is no 'start date' this field automatically shows 14/01/1900.

    Is there anyway that I can get the formula to only work when the date cell is populated ?

    Thanks

    Mark
