In this workbook, I have tried in vain to get cells to show nothing when there is no value in specific cells.
Cells A2 to A8 show a date while cells A9 to A11 are blank.
Cells C2 to C11 has the formula =IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",A2); obviously each successive row the row number changes, for example:
In cell C2 is =IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",A2) then in cell C3 is =IF(ISBLANK(A3),"",A3)…
Why then do cells B9 to B11 show #VALUE!
