If Cell ISBLANK then look at other Cell

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a starting date (Sheet1!F8), and 2 dates to compare to (A6, and A7), If A6 or A7 is later than Sheet!F8, I want a name to display in the field (imported from Sheet1!F6). However, If A6 is later than the starting date, but A7 is still blank, I still want the name to display.

 

I came up with the following formula, but, obviously as I wouldn't be asking for help, isn't working:

=IF((ISBLANK(A7),(AND(A6>=(Sheet1!F8),(Sheet1!F8)>0),(Sheet1!F6),""), (Sheet1!F6))

 

Could anyone help me solve this puzzle?

 

Thank you so much for your consideration and time.

 

Kind regards,

Martin

  • So, you have two lesson dates in A6 and A7 (or that could be more, in A8, A9, etc.?). If the latest non-blank lesson date is greater or equal to starting date you display the name, otherwise nothing. Correct?

     

    If so the formula could be

    =IF(MAX(A6:A7)>=Sheet1!F8,Sheet1!F6,"")

     

  • Hi Martin,

     

    It could be

    =IF(AND(A6>Sheet1!F8,OR(A7>Sheet1!F8,ISBLANK(A7))),Sheet1!F6,"")

      Hi Sergei, Thanks, that is of great help! I added the equal symbols: =IF(AND(A6>=Sheet1!F8,OR(A7>=Sheet1!F8,ISBLANK(A7))),Sheet1!F6,"")

      Now I somehow have 1 minor issue. If the starting date is the same as the date in A7, the name disappears, despite having the >= symbol. Do you know what is happening? Thank you so much for all your help!!

      • Martin, it shall work

        Are you sure A6 is not less than starting date?
