Checking if a date field is blank for data scoring?
Hi, I have a number of checkbox fields that need to be completed and if they are missing i have created a text formula field to display missing data, however I have 1 field that is a date field and if this is blank needs to return that taht date field is missing;
Here is my formula without the date field and works perfectly
Data TypeFormula
IF( Completeness_AML_Searches__c =100,"All Details Captured",
""
&IF (Graydon_company_search_completed__c = False, "Graydon company search, ","")&""
&IF (World_Check_completed__c = False, "World check , ","")&""
&IF (Companies_House_checked__c = False, "Companies house , ","")&""
&IF (CreditSafe_checked__c = False, "Creditsafe , ","")&""
&IF (Land_registry_search_completed__c = False, "Land registry search, ","")&""
&IF (Net_worth_validated__c = False, "Net worth validated, ","")&""
&IF (Google_search_conducted__c = False, "Google search, ","")&""
&IF (Law_society_confirmed__c = False, "Law society confirmed, ",""))
However when I add the date field the syntax errors.. can someone help or suggest how i add an addtional line to check the date field...i cannot add as below;
&IF (Call_Credit_checked__c= False, "Call credit, ","")&""
IF( Completeness_AML_Searches__c =100,"All Details Captured",
""
&IF (Graydon_company_search_completed__c = False, "Graydon company search, ","")&""
&IF (World_Check_completed__c = False, "World check , ","")&""
&IF (Companies_House_checked__c = False, "Companies house , ","")&""
&IF (CreditSafe_checked__c = False, "Creditsafe , ","")&""
&IF (Land_registry_search_completed__c = False, "Land registry search, ","")&""
&IF (Call_Credit_checked__c = False, "call credit, ","")&""
&IF (Net_worth_validated__c = False, "Net worth validated, ","")&""
&IF (Google_search_conducted__c = False, "Google search, ","")&""
&IF (Law_society_confirmed__c = False, "Law society confirmed, ",""))
I get this error - Error: Incorrect parameter type for operator '='. Expected Date, received Boolean

Try using this line instead:
&IF (ISBLANK(Call_Credit_checked__c), "Call credit, ","")&""
