    When a date entered on a specific cell, automatically enter a text in other cell

    I have a spreadsheet in one column I have "date closed" on another I have "status".
    I would like to write an if then formula to say, if a date is entered in F5 (date closed) then E5 says "Completed" (Status)

    How about just a formula, like '=IF(ISBLANK(F5), "", "Completed")'?

    It did not work for me.
    f5 is an empty cell, when I type in a date I want E5 to say completed

    should the formula be in F5?
    Because when I type the date the formula gets erased

    Formula should be in E5, referring to the data in F5. When you enter a date in F5, this formula will show "Completed" in cell E5
