Just wrap your formula with an IF statement that tests the reference cell
and displays "" if it is blank. For example, if your reference cell is A1,
do this...

=IF(A1="","",<<your formula goes here)

It worked! Thanks!

Another format question: Can I format a cell to prevent it from displaying
"#N/A" when the reference cell does not yet contain any data? I've used
the
INDEX function to retrieve a value from another worksheet.

You can use this worksheet Change event code to do that. Right-click the
worksheet tab at the bottom and select View Code from the popup menu that
appears. You will taken to the VBA editor when you do this... copy/paste
the
code below into the window that is displayed there...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:B4")) Is Nothing Then
On Error GoTo Whoops
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
End If
Whoops:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Now go back to the worksheet itself and type some characters into the
range
of cells A1:B4... they will be automatically capitalized. Simply change
the
Range statement in the If-Then statement to cover the cells you want this
functionality for.

How do I format a cell to automatically CAPITALIZE a letter. E.G., I
enter
a1 in the cell, and I want it to convert to A1.
