Default Empty Cell writes over full cell

Carlo
Can't follow what you are saying. Are you talking about different
columns? What is an "appendix for the value"? Provide examples of what you
have, then what you want to have. Provide details like:
Cell A1 has this.
Cell A2 has that.
I want cell A3 to have this other.
Etc.

Hi all

What I want to do is this:
1. Column Name
2. Column if there is an appendix for the value, empty, otherwise the
Value
3. Column if there is an appendix for the value, value & appendix,
otherwise
empty.

Why do I want to this. Well my employer wants to have all the values on
the
same
level, disregarding an appendix if it exists.

I made the Formulas work, but if i do following in the second row:
if(appendix="";value;"") 'just short version, don't want to confuse
anyone!
and in the third row:
if(appendix="";"";value & appendix)
the 2nd and 3rd Column are both aligned right, so if the 2nd column is
empty
the 3rd column should write over the 2nd. But it does that only if the
Cell is
totally empty and not, like in my case, filled with a formula which
returns
"".

Any Help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Carlo
