hello, I have a problem that i'm sure will be an easy fix but i am stumped and cannot get it to work right. The DELIVERED date is in column "O", the "LFD" column is "p". I want the LFD date to populate automatically once the delivered date is manually entered. the LFD date is the delivered date + 4 days. The problem I am having is that If there is no date in the delivered column i want the cell in column P to be blank. When i copy down the column i get the date reference of 1/4/1900? Thanks for all help.
