Hey Mark,
I appreciate you responding to my post. Essentially I have to create a manual report in excel for a wide range of companies on a quarterly basis. The quarterly months for each unique company is derived from the [static date AKA effective contract date]. These static dates are all in the past, some as far back as 2020. The static dates can be any given month, which is where the complication arises.
I would like this formula to calculate and display when the next quarterly report is due based on the [static date AKA effective contract date]. However, I don't want it to display a date that is before the [Date Created AKA QuickBases standard field that is automatically applied to a table].
Thus, in response to your question, if I am understanding correctly, I don't believe "date created plus 1 month, else blank" would work in this scenario. The displayed date will vary based on the [static date] and [date created]. Does that make sense? It is difficult for me to articulate, but I'll do my best.
So if report 1 has a [static date AKA effective date] of 2/1/2022, and the [date created AKA date report 1 is added into quickbase table] is 8/1/2022, I want quickbase to display the date of 8/1/22. (not to insult intelligence, just to fully explain and get on the same page --->) If the [static date AKA effective date] is 2/1/2022, I would need to write a report quarterly on dates: 5/1/22, 8/1/22, 11/1/22, and 2/1/23. Thus, why I need to include the [date created] is so that the formula identifies the first one of those quarterly dates that is equal to or greater than [date created] and then display it.
