What can I add to the following formula that will leave the cell blank until the formula is calculated - so this doesn't show as the result: #DIV/0!

Simple formula: =(B17+C17)/E17

Formula is in cell H17 which I want to remain blank until the formula can be calculated, then the result of the formula would show in H17

Thanks!

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
So, what you are waiting for is a value in E17, right?

Then try:
Code:
=IF(E17 <> 0,[COLOR=#333333](B17+C17)/E17,"")
[/COLOR]
