Ignore blank cells when calculating date for If, Then function

[AndreaS13]

I have a training spreadsheet that uses the date function "Today" along with
the date training was completed to calculate when training is overdue. Is
there a way to have Excel ignore blank cells. Right now it is counting a
blank cell as "Overdue".

My formula is =IF(($C$3-J8)>1095, "OVERDUE", " "), where C3 = TODAY(); J8 is
the date of the last training class and 1095 is the amount of days it would
be considered "overdue".

Thanks,
Andrea

Try

=IF(AND(ISNUMBER(J8),C3-J8>1095),"Overdue","")

First of all change the space " " to a blank ""


=IF(OR(J8="",$C$3-J8<=1095),"","OVERDUE")


or better


=IF(OR(J8="",TODAY()-J8<=1095),"","OVERDUE")

that way you don't need an extra cell
