Change Formula Result If Adjacent Cell Blank

Explanation:

My attached data (Excel Problem.xlsx) consisting 3 fields i.e. Order #, Actual Dispatch Plan and Tentative Production Plan. I am using CSE formula.
The Actual dispatch plan is being calculated on the basis of maximum date of Tentative production plan field.
Like, for Order # 203, the maximum production date is 8th October, so Actual dispatch plan is 8th Oct, likewise 188 = 12th Oct and so on….


Problem:

If there is blank of text in the Tentative Production Plan field, the Actual plan should display "Input Date", but in my case it is also showing date.

Is this what you want?

=IF(H4="","Input Date",MAX(IF($A$4:$A$16=$A4,$C$4:$C$16)))

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however the thread title does not really convey what your request is about. Tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think it should be done.

Please take a moment to amend your thread title. Make sure that the title properly explains your request. Your title should be explicit and not be generic (this includes function names used without an indication of what you are trying to achieve).

Please see Forum Rule #1 about proper thread titles and adjust accordingly. To edit the thread title, open the original post to edit and then click on Go Advanced (bottom right) to access the area where you can edit your title.

(Note: this change is not optional. As you are new, I will do this for you today.)

OK, well in that case, you need to be MUCH clearer about what you want.

You have told me that it doesn't work for two conditions that you did not state in your opening post. Provide an updated workbook that accounts for all cases.

I am updating my workbook with more explanation. Kindly guide.

No, you have not attached an updated workbook - you would be able to see it if you had.

Try this:

=IF(OR(ISTEXT(N4),N4=""),"Input Date",MAX(IF($A$4:$A$16=$A4,$C$4:$C$16)))

It is working and it does exactly what you said you wanted. Provide a workbook showing what you want (mocked up, not a description).

Sorry - I don't understand the issue. You have still provided a table with formulae. I asked for a MANUALLY MOCKED UP (i.e. NO formulae) table showing what you want.

Provide a mock-up of what you want.
