I have column B with a date, I have column C with a formula (I have =(B1+180) in column C) I need the text in cell c1 to be visible.  How do I do this?

I am using excel 2010. I am an excel beginner. I have column b formated as a date. I have column C formated with the date from column B and adding 180. The formula in column C is: =(B2+180). This works fine. However, now I need to figure out how to only disply the information in column C if column B is filled in. 
EX: 
column A                       Column B                                   Column C 
                                                                                  (info should not be visible in Column "C" if no 
                                                                                   info is in "B")

Try:
 
=IfBlank(B2),"",(B2+180))

Thank you for your quick reply, unfortunately I got an error message:
"The formula you typed contains an error"
I wish I could share the file or a screenshot with you.

Sorry, my memory is failing. Try:
 
=IF(ISBLANK(B2),"",B2+180)
