Sometimes you need to think about it differently. I like to call it ‘thinking backwards’. Sometimes it helps to look for the inverse of the value instead of looking for the actual value. Using @avanavana’s example of wanting blonde hair and blue eyes, I would structure my If Then column like this. IF Hair is not Blonde THEN false ELSE IF Eyes is not Blue THEN false ELSE true This way, you will get a true result only if hair is blonde AND eyes are blue. The logic will continue through each condition until it finds a match. Otherwise it falls all the way through to the last ELSE. In your case, it would be like this: IF Column A is empty THEN false ELSE IF Column B is empty THEN false ELSE true --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/if-then-else-with-two-or-more-criteria/19971)._
