Help on IF Statment

Looking everywhere for the solution but cannot find an exact scenario to mine.

Trying to write an IF statement so that my

Column "Forecasted completion" will show blank if  "Actual finish is not null"  Otherwise If "Actual Finish is null" it will take "Actual Start Date" + "Duration Remaining"


If([Duration Remaining]=null,[Actual Finish Date],[Actual Start Date]+[Duration Remaining])

    Try this one.

    If(isNull([Duration Remaining]),[Actual Finish Date],[Actual Start Date]+[Duration Remaining])

    If you wanted to do one where the duration is not null it is "not isNull" which is awful I know but that is how it works.

    Edit: Actually after reading the post more I believe your formula was wrong for what you wanted. This may do what the text says you want.

    If(isNull([Actual Finish], [Actual Start Date]+[Duration Remaining], "")

      Thank you Austin! 

      I was having syntax errors at first with your second solution, but i made a slight modification to 

      If(IsNull([Actual Finish Date]),[Actual Start Date]+[Duration Remaining])

      Seems to be working now.
