Calculated column not working in SharePoint 2007 list

Question

In a nutshell, I have two columns; the standard [Modified] and [ACTION_DATE].

I'm using this formula =IF([Status]="New","","[Modified]") in the ACTION_DATE column to populate it with the last modified date if the status of the ticket is not equal to New.

The problem: I have is the formula half works - It will read the status, but the valve it returns in the list is [Modified]

Any assistance offered would be greatly appreciated :-)

Remove "" before and after [modified] so you get

=IF([Status]="New","",[Modified])
