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

[Charlotte_Barne]

Hi! Below is the formula I’m using

DATEADD({Fast Action $7K Paid},30,‘days’)

I want to prevent the “#ERROR!” message from appearing when the “Fast Action $7K Paid” box is left empty. This field won’t always be used and the error message constantly showing is a tad frustrating. What do I need to add to the above formula to ensure that when nothing is put in the “Fast Action $7K Paid” then the error message won’t show in the next box?

Thank you for any and all help!

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

Mike_McLaughlin:

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.

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

[Mike_McLaughlin]

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

That unfortunately didn’t work for me either.
