    Folks looking for a dig out.
    I have created a type of task list that I use in work to try to juggle the many tasks and random stuff coming my way each day.
    I have created a sheet with some slicers and I can filter easily to see what needs to be done when etc. The slicers are like a type of quick view dashboard and I find them great

    I am refining it now and wanted to add a due date so I could sort of select July for example and see all tasks due in July in the slicers.

    So I have a due date column (column E) which has a DD/MM/YY entry and then I use this formula to spit out a Month Due calculated text in the next column F

    =TEXT(E75,"mmmm")

    So if I enter due date of 15/07/17 in cell E75 it calculates to JULY in the corresponding Month Due column F. This is perfect for filtering in my slicer quick views

    That's fine if there is a due date entered in column E. However if a task has no due date (might just be a reoccurring item such as a weekly update I send to a certain team or just a reminder I want to add to the list with no due date) then the calculation spits out JANUARY by default in to column F.

    How do I tell it to remain blank if no entry in the due date column E?

    I have figured out by using IF statement that that you can tell a cell to display something or nothing depending on the entry in original cell (e.g. true,false) such as the formula below

    =IF(E106="","TRUE","FALSE")

    but I can't seem to combine both formula together to tell it .....

    If date entered then calculate MONTH...if no date entered the then the cell F stays blank.

    D|E|F
    Task|Due Date|Month Due
    finish that stuff|15/07/17|July
    email the team with an update|I have no due date for some tasks|I need this to remain blank

    Anyone have a stab at this?
