normally FALSE only appears with an IF function that has no value in the
FALSE section. Add something like this...

=IF(condition,value_if_true,"")
or
=IF(condition,value_if_true," ")

Some people like the space and others like the blank text. Either way the
result will be a seemingly empty cell. Be careful though as neither will
return TRUE with the ISBLANK function.

I'm sure it is a really straightforward problem.

I have a sheet with a lot of data generated form formulas, mainly
VLOOKUP and IF with output being whole numbers. How can I stop the word
"FALSE" from appearing in cells with no valid data, just leaving those
cells blank.
