Code:
[COLOR=#333333]if (C13 ="","",$E$5)[/COLOR]
will not work unless the evaluation of the formula in C13 = blank, if it evaluates something like a numbers, Boolean or text string then it will return as false.
if this is the case then you have to reformulate your formula in C13 so that it will evaluate to blank .
