I tried this and it still comes back with an error, something to do with the
"". It is not working.

I tried this and it did not work. I am really a beginner at this excel
stuff
and hate to say but really need spelled out exactly:
my worksheet is a continuous one, repeats same columns over 18 pages.
The info I need starts in column C5 (which has a number in it that needs
to
stay and be protected) - but right next to it is D5 which has nothing in
it
until someone changes the numbered amount in C as in C now is a 10, if
they
need more than 10 or less then 10 they would put in column D. I need at
this
point for the 10 in C is hide or disappear for this transaction only.

Does that make sense?

In C1 put =IF(LEN(D1)0,"","PresetValueHere")

I have a worksheet with pre-filled info, but if there is a variance to
that
info placed in a different box, how do I get the pre-filled one to
disappear.
The pre-filled one is protected.
Example:
C is prefilled and protected, D is the variance box, not protected, if
D is
filled with a number, how do I get C to "hide" or disappear?
