Trying to put together a formula that will return a blank result or a date in a specific format and timezone.
This works:
DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE({Broadcast Date/Time}, ‘Australia/Sydney’), ‘DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm’)
And so does this:
IF({Broadcast Date/Time} = BLANK(), “”,{Broadcast Date/Time})
But not this:
IF({Broadcast Date/Time} = BLANK(), “”, DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE({Broadcast Date/Time}, ‘Australia/Sydney’), 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm’))
I’m missing something here, hopefully obvious. Really not sure what it is.

How can you be sure this works? :winking_face:
Blank() can be tricky. Does the following work?
IF({Broadcast Date/Time} = BLANK(), “BlankTest”,{Broadcast Date/Time})

Thanks @Tuur, I can confirm that your “BlankTest” formula does work. I just need to get the format of the date working.

Ok, discovery. It appears than when I copied in the formula, it carried the following characters in italic: ’ and ". When I replaced these characters unitalicized, all was fixed and the formula worked.
