    Need cell with formula to show as blank instead of error message when no data is entered

    Problem solved, thank you all!

    I am using a formula in column E to show me the last date a field report was logged per project. Here is an example of my formula from cell E3:

    =OFFSET(F3,0,MATCH(MAX(F3:AAC3)+1,F3:AAC3,1)-1)


    However, with hundreds of projects initiated but no field report started, I am hoping to clean up my spreadsheet and eliminate the #N/A error from displaying until I enter the first date.

    I have used a formula in the past to keep a cell with a formula blank until data is entered, but I cannot figure out how to do that with this particular formula. I can't figure out where I need to insert the appropriate functions into my formula.

    I am a self-taught Excel user and typically just play around until I figure something out, but this one really has me stumped. I want to apologize in advance if there is a simple solution that I'm just missing and this is cluttering up the forum! I appreciate your understanding and your assistance.
