Hi. I currently have a column that can be either Capex or Opex depending on the chosen item from drop down list on a form. I have been asked to amend this so if another drop down list value is "X" then column Opex/Capex is to be autofilled as "Opex" else user the value entered on the form.... Any pointers for this please?

I think this will work. The first part of the formula handles if a payment was received but was past the due date, and the second part handles if TODAY() is past the due date but no payment shows as received. It should return blank if neither requirements are met, so it inherently solves the third example.<\/p>
