Dee511 I would like to return a date value if a field is blank
I am not great with formulas. However, I am trying to write a formula that would return today's date if the contract sold date is blank on the page layout. I have not yet been able to accomplish this. Can someone assist? Something like - IF(Contract_Sold_Date__c = NULL, Contract_Sold_Date__c = 'CreatedDate')
Did you mean based on Contract_Sold_Date__c is null or not you want to returns today's date to formula field?
If you are looking to populate the Contract_Sold_Date__c with today date if it is blank then use the workflow field update:
1. Setup => Build => Create=> Workflows&Approvals => Workflow Rules => New Rule => Select your Object.
2. Fill the rule name
3. Evaluation Criteria => Evaluate the rule when a record is: created, and every time it's edited
4. Rule Criteria => Run this rule if the => formula evaluates to true.
5. use ISBLANK(Contract_Sold_Date__c ) in formula editor.
6. Save & Next
7. Immediate Workflow Actions => Add Workflow Action => New Field Update => Fill the Name.
8. Field to Update => Contract_Sold_Date__c.
9. Specify New Field Value => Use a formula to set the new value => enter the formula as TODAY() => Save => Done => Activate.
Or If you are looking to create a new the formula field to display the today date if Contract_Sold_Date__c is blank then Create a new custom Formula field in Object and use the below formula:

Have you tried that?
Hi,
Use this formula in place of your code. IF(Contract_Sold_Date__c = NULL, Contract_Sold_Date__c = 'CreatedDate')
Thank You
