Default How do I get Null as a result of an if?

I want something that counta() won't pick up.

There is nothing!

There is no "null", no "nil", no "nothing" !

You might be able to do something with an event macro but I can't help with
that.

What are you trying to do? There may be a workaround.

Let me rephrase then.

=if(false, "yup",) will record 0
=if(false, "yup","") will record the empty string
=if(false, "yup") will record "False"

What I want is null, nothing, nada. rien de tout, a virgin cell.


Well, you ain't gonna get it!

There is no "null". The closest you can get is the empty string
