Formulae in Excel

Formulae in Excel

When creating a spreadsheet in Excel and using the EDATE formula. I have to leave all the cells with the default date of 31/01/1900 and enter a new start date in each respective row.
Is there a way of hiding the contents of these cells until a new start date is netered in the next row.

What I am trying to do is create a spread sheet to automatically generate the next date at 3,6,9,and 12 month intervals after entering the new start date. Please can someone offer any advice

RE: Formulae in Excel

Hi Mick

Thank you for your question

If I follow you correctly, you have a block of cells,each row comprising a date followed by 4 edate functions. Unused rows are set to 31/01/1900 and this date replaced when the row is used.

If this is the case then the simplest solution is to conditionally format the table so that any cells with the value 31/01/1900 have a white font colour. This would then hide them and make the values appear when a new date is typed in.

If i have misunderstood your problem, please do not hesitate to get back to me

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

The dual nature of toolbar buttons

Many toolbar buttons are dual purpose, though the two purposes are often linked in some way. For example, Align Left aligns a cell's contents to the left of the cell. However, hold down Shift and press the Align Left button: Excel aligns the cell contents to the right.
You may respond: So what? Well, you can reduce the number of buttons on your toolbar to make your screen less cluttered and allow more room for, perhaps, some of your own commands. After all, what's the point of an Align Right button when Shift+Align Left does the same thing?
