                    Hi Croppman,

However it is still displayed when a date is entered but disappears when I4 is blank!
unquote
Off course it is, look at your formula: IF(I4="",""
Meaning: When I4 is blank, then result must be blank.
Try replacing the "=" by "<>".
Meaning: When I4 is not blank, then result must be blank.
Does this yield the desired result?
Best regards,
Trowa

This is brilliant. Thank you, it makes the text disappear which now helps emmensely.
Thanks again
