I tried both your formulas and they work great!

You are true masters!

Hi,

I am trying to put together a simple balance sheet where I have a
starting balance in say E2. In column C are all the debits, column D has
the credits and E has the current balance.
So....what I am trying to do is to check for an entry in C3 and if there
is, the formula in E3 will be =E2-C3. But I am also checking for credit
entries so it needs to be =E2-C3+D3. This works but I would like to leave
E3 blank if there nothing entered in the debit (C) or credit (D).
I tried using this: =IF(ISBLANK(C3),"",SUM(E2-C3+D3))

And it works. The problem is I need to check for ISBLANK in D3 as well in
the same formula.


Can this be done and if so, how? Or am I off the planet here, perhaps
there is a much easier way of doing this?

Grateful for all help.
