FORMULA TO ADD 8 WEEKS FROM A DATE WITH CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Evening - I would like to set a formula to add 8 weeks from a date in another cell - I would ideally like this to turn red if it exceeds 8 weeks. Looked online and cannot fathom it out anyone help?
sry...here is the correct file with the change that no error appears if the cell is empty.
=IF(A1="","",(A1+7*8))
Thank you I still must be doing something wrong. So My date reference is in A65 and set to 1st August 2022 - My cell where I want the formula to appear is at Q65 - I think I made the changes to do the above but for some reason its now blank. Sorry about this!
- Unfortunately, without a file or a picture of the error, I can't help you further. Recommend inserting the file (without sensitive data). Or you can send me a private message (see my profile) to see where the problem might be.
- One possibility would be that the date is in text and should be converted to a number.
Select the date range
Right click and select "Format Cells...".
In the Number menu, select Left Default or Number,
OK...thus the text would be converted to a number and the formula should work.
