I need an equation that basically says:
If cell is blank ("" (which is a return of a false statement)), do nothing
and return blank, else run this "IF" equation which has a true and false
return.

I'm trying something like this, but won't work.
=IF(A1="","",IF(A1=B,True,False))
Is it because there is an equation in the reference cell and not "" ?
The equation I tried returns the false statement of the second equation and
not "".

The "B" in your formula ... is that the letter B?
If it is your function might work in this form:
=IF(A1="","",IF(A1="B",True,False))

No, B is actually a long equation. So the equation you gave me is the same
one I typed.
Thanks anyway,

Try this: =IF(A4="","", IF(A4="b",TRUE,FALSE))

Can you give an indication of what B is? It might help.

Here's why I kept it short:
My real equation:
=IF(OR(AND(SUM(COUNTIF(CO14:CZ14,"S")+(COUNTIF(BE1 4:CD14,"S")))=38,COUNTIF(CF14:CN14,"M")0),(AND(SU M(H14:AI14,AK14,AM14,AO14,AQ14,AS14,AU14,AW14,AY14 ,BA14,BC14)=38,SUM(AL14,AN14,AP14,AR14,AT14,AV14,A X14,AZ14,BB14)<9))),"TGCE","GEL")

I need to insert an IF statement that if a cell is "", return "", else run
the above equation. It works fine if the new equation is false, but if true,
I get the false answer of the above equation.

Nevermind, your equation worked. I was missing a comma.
Thanks again,

Hi,
I also want to show a blank if the referance cell is blank...
could anyone tell me how I do that with this formula please?
=IF(C299%,"Complete",IF(C274%,"Nearly Finished",IF(C249%,"Half
Way",IF(C224%,"Early stages",IF(C2=1%,"Started",IF(C2=0%,"Nothing
Done"))))))

thanks

After your last condition, close the parenthesis and include quotation marks.
Then close the parens for all your conditions.
