Trying to get this to be blank when no data has been entered. Currently, if there is no data put in yet it puts up an L

=IF(A2="","",IF(A2>2500,"H","L"))

any help on this will be great.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
if i put mitch in I get H but, if I put the numbers in then I get the correct H or L now I just had it typed wrong

What I'm hinting at is: When one expects numerical input, one should better test for that instead of blanks... hence the suggestion:

=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),IF(A2>2500,"H","L"),"")
