You can simplify your =IF(AND(C4=39234,C4<=39447),1,0) to
=--(AND(C4=39234,C4<=39447)
If you want to check for a value in C4, then use
=IF(C4="","",--AND(C4=39234,C4<=39447))
Copy down a row to apply to C5.

Note that you said "not show up in the formula bar until a value is placed
in c5". This wouldn't be possible. If a formula is there you can see it in
the formula bar (unless protection stops you), but you can let the
visibility of the *result* be dependent on conditions.

This is my formula
=IF(AND(C4=39234,C4<=39447),1,0)
now, how do I get it so that it will automatically be applied to c5 and
enter the result but not show up in the formula bar until a value is
placed
in c5

hi, not sure if your mean columns or rows, if do mean "row" will try to
use
the OFFSET() function, but with jusTt what you showed in characters:
=IF(OR(A1="",B1=""),"",A1+B1)

which reads if either a1 or b1 = nothing, then nothing (TRUE), else
perform
operation (FALSE).

Hello. I am trying to figure out how to have a formula automatically be
applied to the next row but only once information has been entered into
the
cell which the formula applies.

Like if I wanted to add a1 + b1 and have the result in c1. How would I
set
up the formula so that a result for c2 would only show and be applied
if I
entered information in a2 and b2? Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks for any help.
