Formula to Auto-populate Date

[kijones]

Hello Everyone,
As you can see I have placed a formula in column O that has a target completion date of 90 days or 110 days from the date entered in Column H depending on the selection in Column I. However, when no date is entered in Column H, Column O has a default date of "19-Apr-00" signifying 110 days from Jan 1st, 2000. How do I make it so Column O is blank if no date has been entered in Column H?

Thank you for the help!

try =IF(I2="","",IF(I2="GILEAD",(H2+90),(H2+110)))

Try it like this:

=IF(H2="","",IF(I2="GILEAD",H2+90,H2+110))

No need for the SUM function.

Hope this helps.

Oh, I see, I was using the visible formula in your snapshot instead of column H. Pete's is more clean and apparently gives you the correct cell reference so disregard mine.

Thank you both. It worked!
