    Combine 2 Excel columns into 1 - use number and ignore text

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet including two columns - 'date replied' and 'date completed'. For each row of data, only one column will contain a date, and the other will read 'None'.

    Eg:

    Capture.JPG

    I want to combine both columns into one e.g. 'date actioned', where is uses the date which is present, and ignores the 'None' values.

    Is there a formula I can use that will achieve this?

    Many thanks,
    Emma

    Try

    E2=IF(ISNUMBER(C2),C2,IF(ISNUMBER(D2),D2,"")) and drag down.

    Try

    =MAX(C2:D2)

    To cater for blanks ..

    =IF(COUNT(C2:D2),MAX(C2:D2),"")
