I have a cell AP11 that has a IF function in it here it is "=IF(K11="","",VLOOKUP(K11,$I$2:$J$8,2,FALSE))", it returns either the value NONE, or one of many text stings such as E300R191M or E1595R19 that are in the range I2:J8 or remains blank. I need to have another cell AW11 return a 0 or blank if AP11 is NONE or a 1 if it is anything else. I have it doing this with this =IF(K11="NONE",0,1), the only problem is I have 90 rows that may not have data and are returning a 1 also, I need these cells to be blank if say AP13 has no value, now I get a 1 because is not NONE. How can I get empty cells to be blank and one NONE or one of the other values returning the 1. I'm then going to use the 1 which there are 4 total representing the 4 edges of a board that could require edge treatment for calculating the linear feet of that treatment. I have another sheet that looks at the value 1 in respect to the length of the edge to cal'c the linear ft.
