I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you saying you want the value in
column C to be calculated based upon Column B? Try something like this

C2: =B2*2+3

If that's not what you are looking for, let me know.

You can also use an if statement is the controlling column is not involved
in the calculation

in C!
=if(B1<"",existing formula,"")

as an example
