Blank Value not recognized?
There is a difference between " " and "". What your formula is looking for
is a space in cell D10, not a blank.
Try this instead:
=IF(D10="","",G9-10)

Hello,
I have a spreadsheet that tallies expenses against the budget. I have set
up the following formula to show as a blank until an entry has been made:
=IF(D10=" "," ",G9-D10)
The problem is that it does not show a blank value, rather, it continues to
tally the total from the previous cell. See below:
D E F G H
9 $850 $650 $1,500 $13,250 $18,428
10 $13,250 $18,428
11 $13,250 $18,428
Any suggestions how to keep the G and H columns blank until there is an
entry in either D or E?
Thank you,
