Default keep cell blank if IF statement is False

Post the formula that returns the value error, a value error occurs when you
calculate with text like "" so you can replace it with 0 instead if you add
it or you can use functions that ignores text like SUM or SUMIF

If the cell evaluates to "" and then shows blank, but, another cell
references the blank cell that second cell returns a #VALUE. Its OK if the
cell evaluates to a number but not "". Is there a way around this?
Thanks

I'm trying to keep a cell blank for the False component of an IF


statement.

If I leave it blank it comes back with False in the cell. I don't want
anything in the False section of the IF statement. How do I do that?
