Hi, I know this is an old post, but this is the formula I use for my charts,
but what I need it to do is to ignore these blank cells until there is a
false response.

At the moment my chart is plotting these as $0.00 right along the bottom of
the chart, and what I need is for it not to display until an amount is in the
cell.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi!

Try this:

=IF(G186="","",G186+2)

i want the "IF" statement to leave a cell blank if the referenced cell is
blank. But, if the referenced cell contains a numeric value, then I want
the
new location to perform an operation based on the referenced value. For
example, =IF(G186=0,,(G186+2)) works most of the the time but I really
want
=IF(G186=blank,,(G186+2)), so that if G186 was blank nothing would happen.
