Formula above has and then the double quotes. In the context of the cell
B12, what does the mean and does the Double Quotes mean, the current cell
of B13 will be "nothing" in the cell?
Just a little confused, haven't run across this formula, yet.

means not equal to
"" means blank (or empty)

B12"" means B12 is not equal to blank (or empty)

means not equal
"" is an string with no text

That formula is checking for a cell being less than 60 days ago, but it
doesn't want to include a cell where there is no date.
