I have a spreadsheet that is tracking when a task is completed in Column C and then generating the next due by date in the next row column A so you know when the next task is due. I would like the Column A cell to remain blank until Column C has been filled in. So if you complete something in C5, it should generate a next due date in A6 telling me when the next task is due, otherwise it should stay blank. Thanks!

Hi Jyoungblood,

How would Excel know what the next due date is?

Formula in A6 would be something like:
=IF(C5<>"","Next due date","")

Still not quite there. If c5 is blank, I want a6 to remain blank. If c5 has a date in it, I want a6 to add 3 days to c5 and then place that date in a6. Thanks

Hi Jyoungblood,

Of course we are not there yet! Because you didn't provide all the info. I can't read minds you know!

Formula in A6 will now be:
=IF(C5<>"",C5+3,"")

Best regards,
Trowa
