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.

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"),"")
