I have a custom Start field configured in MS Project and I want to sync that date with a task Start date subject to the project type being something specific. I want to do it through a Formula in a Custom Field.



So far I can get the field to match the date that I want when the Project Type is what I want. But when I do this and the project type is not the right value, it returns #Error. I want it just to be Null. I know really simple, but can you help me….pleaseJ



Current formula: IIf([Text5]=("Full Release"),[Start])



Now the syntax is fairly straight forward:



Returns one of two parts, depending on the evaluation of an expression.

Syntax

IIf( expr, truepart, falsepart )

expr Required; Variant expression you want to evaluate.

truepart Required; value or expression to be returned if the corresponding expression is True.

falsepart Required; value or expression to be returned if the corresponding expression is False.



I am obviously having problems with the falsepart ie I don’t know what to put to make the field to be blank!!

 
You could set the false part to a blank Startn cell, which would result in NA.
