How can I adjust this formula to not have the ERROR message appear when the field is blank

IF({Fast Action $7K Paid}=BLANK(),“Error Will Robinson”, DATEADD({Fast Action $7K Paid},30,‘days’))

So that looks right and THANK YOU! But I’m now getting the message that that formula doesn’t work

you have to re-type the single quotes(maybe the double as well), they get formatted as a different but similar character in the forum. (copy and paste from the forum doesn’t work as we’d like)

That did it! Thank you Michael!

One more question Michael as this adjustment has now caused another error. How do I adjust DATEADD to only be the date and not the time. I don’t have the option to edit it using formatting with this formula for some reason.

have a look at this

Supported format specifiers for DATETIME_FORMAT

The DATETIME_FORMAT function will allow you to reformat the data from the date-type field into a string of your specifications. This is written in the form "DATETIME_FORMAT(Datetime, 'format s...

Thanks, I’ll have to take a deeper look at it as the adjustments I made from that support article didn’t work.

put your formula into: DATETIME_FORMAT( your formula, ‘M-D-YYYY’)

That unfortunately didn’t work for me either.

I see it broke the way it handles the blank

I could have sworn I put it in just like that! Thank you so much Michael!

Sorry, need to move the DATETIME_FORMAT to surround just the DATEADD portion so you still get the correct error handling

Was just coming back to ask this :slightly_smiling_face:

All is now well! Thank you thank you!

I had the same issue and, after emailing support, came up with a slightly different formula:

IF({Construction Start Date},(DATEADD({Construction Start Date},-33,‘day’)))

The difference between this and the other solution in this thread is that if instead of #ERROR, the field will just show blank if the “Construction Start Date” hasn’t been entered.

Struggling to make these solutions work for me.
In my case if a field referenced by the formula is itself an #ERROR!, i’d like the concurrent formula referencing to it to output as BLANK().

Used this:
IF({Year} = “#ERROR!”, BLANK(), DATETIME_PARSE(CONCATENATE({Year}, “-“, {MONTH(1-12)},”-“,{Day(1-31})))

But still gives me an #ERROR! when the {Year} is also an #ERROR!

#feature request?

• Wouldn’t it be great if Airtable would give us error handling options with formula’s? Eg. provide the option to choose how an #ERROR! is shown in de fields: null or #ERROR!
  OR
• If we could filter on #ERROR! values, just like we can filter on Empty values)

You could use ISERROR({Year}) to test if the {Year} formula result is an error. However, a simpler formula only calculates the date if there is a year.

IF(
    {Year},
    DATETIME_PARSE( 
        {Year} & "-" & {MONTH(1-12)}  & "-" & {Day(1-31},
        "YYYY-M-D"
    )
)

By the way, I copied the field names from your post, but it looks like there might be a missing closing parentheses in you {Day(1-32} field name.

IF(
    {Year},
    DATETIME_PARSE( 
        {Year} & "-" & {MONTH(1-12)}  & "-" & {Day(1-31},
        "YYYY-M-D"
    )
)

Did the job perfectly. Thanks for bringing iserror() and how to use it to my attention. Quite useful.

That’s the best solution for the problem. Thanks, @Tony_Lewis!
