    How to fill only blank cells based on another worksheet

    Dear excel heros,
    I have a question here best described in the attached png file.example.png
    From the example I have attached, what i want is to fill blank cells of table A automatically (all red Ts) based on Table B

    And any change of dates in Table B should reflect in Table A with "T". Any help on this will be much appreciated.

    with many thanks and best regards,
    Prad

    Re: How to fill only blank cells based on another worksheet

    Instead of pictures please attach a sample workbook with enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Note: Please don't attach documents containing confidential data like (address, telephone, ID#s, etc.).

    Re: How to fill only blank cells based on another worksheet

    Hi ramanan,
    I tried the same thing it is ok for the given example.
    But say if "a" travel from 01-08-2013 to 02-08-2013 and from 04-08-2013 to 05-08-2013, then the issue arises.
    dated 03-08-2013 should be "L" instead of "T".
    How can we point out that gap date

    Re: How to fill only blank cells based on another worksheet

    With reference to attachment file posted by ramananhrm in Post #8, try the below formula

    In D7 Cell

    =IF(COUNTIF($J$6:$J$9,$C7),IF(SUMPRODUCT(($J$6:$J$9=$C7)*(D$6>=$K$6:$K$9)*(D$6<=$L$6:$L$9)),"T","L"),"")

    Drag it down and right....
