Blank Cell as result of formula


Posted by Alain Herbertz on October 12, 2001 5:02 AM

Hi,
I am using two cells : one cell with a value, the second cell containing a formula using the value in the first cell.
What i would like is :
- when the first cell contains a value, the second cell contains the results of the formula
- when the first cell is BLANK, the second cell should also be BLANK.
Regards. Alain.

Ignore First reply

Use the ISBLANK Function
In 2ndcell enter =IF(ISBLANK(1stCell),"",Formula)

Another method would be:

=IF(LEN(the-first-cell),the-computation-that-refers-to-the-first-cell,"")
