So I have a spreadsheet doing several things, but here is what I'm stuck on. In column H {min #} if it is blank (or I can have the person put a 0), I need it to copy the number that is in the corresponding cell from column J {max #}.
So say for row 7 american white pelican it is blank {min #} H7, I need it to copy the number that is inputed in to {max #} J7, so it will have min # of 30 and max # of 30.
Where/how would I put the formula?
If it has a number inputted into column H, I don't need it to do anything.
Columns C,E,G,I are blank and just using as a spacer between columns.
Let me know if that is confusing or if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
For a formula solution:

A cell can contain a value or a formula, not both.
So if you have column H with preset values then you need to have another column, lets say K.

in K3
=IF(OR(H3<>"",H3=0),J3,H3)

Then use column K instead of column H since column K will now have values that are missing on column H.

QUESTION: Row there is NEITHER a value for H nor J, so what result do you want from that?
