I must confess I do not understand it YET but I tested it thoroughly
and it does work.

I can have H36 blank with something in or not in f 36 and vise versa.
I can also have somehting in both f36& h36 there by overiding both
the numbers.

I do have one question about rounding if h36 is entered as 511 it
yileds a number a few digits off from leaving cell blank and using
511 in the original calc. Is there somehting I can learn to deal with
this.

Thanks again

One way:

=IF(H36="",E31*$J$7/52,H36)*IF(F36="",$J$8,F36)

It has been a long while since doing big nested if's

I have supplied a lengthy question with actual values.

I have the following formula:

=IF(F36="",(((E31*$J$7)/52)*$J$8),(((E31*$J$7)/52)*F36))

F36 is an overirde number, if left blank then will execute with
master number on top of page but if I enter number (override) to
f36 then uses f36 instead of master number in j8.

The 2ND and new override is a whole number that if placed in cell
H36 will replace the following portion of the formula:

((E31*$J$7)/52) - this yields 511

F36 = ?oblank?� (for this example)
E31= 1300
$J$7=20.5
$J$8=18

I am overriding a 1 week budget of 511 with a number like 470 for
example with my overall goal to keep the original formula intack
because it changes and then add this new variable over top of it.

Hey thanks for your suggestions and time and have a happy holiday.
