Hello!
I am kinda stuck on something so I will explain what I am doing.
I have a Form that looks kinda like a Web portal with 18 fields/dropdowns that a user can populate.
This tool also has the ability to recall these fields if the user knows the tracking number, then all the fillable fields will auto-populate for the user.
So how I am doing this, for speed, I have a helper cell beneath each fillable field with a Index/Match formula, so as the user drops in the tracking number all relevant fields are filled in.
My Problem
- The formulas that are static and just waiting have an ISBlank line to ensure they don't return a blank, the problem is that when I say Cell C19 = C21 (21 being the cell with the static hidden formula) even if C21 is blank C19 brings back a 0.
Is there a way to get around this?
So, I know the obvious would seem like, "Why not just have the code put the formula in C19, well for 18 Cells and even having Calculations switched to manual and screen updating off, the code takes roughly 18 seconds (Crazy I know!).
So hence, the more basic approach helper cell and link to it. Any Ideas?
I am trying to do this without a loop or IF statement if possible unless I don't have to write the IF Statement more than once and it can process instantly and not cause any further lag.
Any help is appreciated.
