IF date not blank

[Wanna Learn]

Hello - Excel 2003-
THis is my formula =IF(M18=" "," ", M18+60)
In Cell M18 person will enter a date
Cell M 19 is formated as date
( if cell M18 is blank then blank, otherwise the date on cell M18 plus 60
days )
The problem is if I add any date to cell M18 I get the correct answer , but
if cell M18 is blank I get a date
February 29 1900
How Do I correct this so that if M18 is blank them M19 is blank

Can't it be :
=IF(M18="","", M18+60)
HTH

Hi

Your formula is testing if M18 contain a single space, ie it's testing if
the cell is empty. Use this to test if the cell is empty:

=IF(M18="","", M18+60)
