Hi,

I need an "IF" function for the concaterate formula that I'm working on
below:

Reference Element Consolidation
222 10000 22210000 CORRECT
10000 10000 WRONG

The consolidation field can only be populated with characters if both
the reference and element fields are populated. If either 'Reference'
or 'Element' is missing characters, the consolidation field must be not
be populated with any characters. It must simply read 'false' or
'blank'.

Thanks.
