Question

Hello! I needed assistance with creating a formula cell o2, essentially, I need "yes or no" to auto populate IF there is a date in symptom onset (q2) AND M2 is not blank, otherwise I just want the cell to be blank.

jaolvera&nbsp;&nbsp;essentially, I need "yes or no" to auto populate IF there is a date in symptom onset (q2) AND M2 is not blank, otherwise I just want the cell to be blank.&nbsp;&nbsp;A little more description of conditions is needed, I think. You want one of three&nbsp;results in cell O2yesno blankbut you only give two conditions: it's to remain blank unless there's a date in Q2 and M2 is not blank, but what combination of Q2/M2 creates the "Yes" and what creates the "No"?

jaolvera · Answer

the yes is created by have a number in m2 and a date in q2

jaolvera · Answer

and the no would be if there is a number in M2 and No date in q2 mathetes

jaolvera&nbsp;See attached.This is the formula in cell O2=IFS(AND(ISNUMBER(M2),ISNUMBER(Q2)),"Yes",AND(ISNUMBER(M2),ISBLANK(Q2)),"No",AND(ISBLANK(M2),ISBLANK(Q2)),"")&nbsp;Note that this is an IFS function, which handles multiple conditions very easily. This means you could add more combinations, more consequences, just be spelling them out.&nbsp;I also use Data Validation to make sure there are numbers, or a date, in columns M and Q respectively.
