    Date formula with ISBLANK or IF condition from previous column entry

    Please help a lost new user, many thanks!

    I am trying to have any dates entered in column J result in a date 3 years later in column K, and where a cell in column J is left blank, result in a blank cell in column K, rather than 1901-00-00, or a Value! error message. Also, cells available for such entry begin at row 3 in both columns, as there are text headers in rows 1 and 2.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    Please update your user profile with the version of Office (Excel) that you are using, NOT Windows.
