Having MUCH trouble with a simple problem (please help)

Posted by Jim Jankowski on February 22, 2001 1:26 AM

In my spreadsheet I have and expiration date coumn (J)and in column K is a formula that will let me know when the expiration date is within 60 days of today. My K2 value is =IF K2&LT;=TODAY()+60,"Expiring","")

My problem is that it puts "Expiring" in block K2 if block J2 is blank. I don't want this. But I can't figure out how to write an arguement that looks for a null value in J. Please help

How about entering in K2

=IF(ISNUMBER(J2),IF(J2&LT;=TODAY()+60,"Expiring","Expired"),"")

Or you could just add an extra if statement, ie
IF(J2 = "","", IF K2&LT;=TODAY()...ETC)
