Stopping display of "FALSE"
I'm sure it is a really straightforward problem.
I have a sheet with a lot of data generated form formulas, mainly VLOOKUP and IF with output being whole numbers. How can I stop the word "FALSE" from appearing in cells with no valid data, just leaving those cells blank. Regards, Vinnie. |
Stopping display of "FALSE"
Normally, you add an additional IF to your formula, to test for this condition.
Something like =IF(A1="","",A1*B1) =IF(A1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:D250,3,FALSE) or something to that effect. It all depends on what it is you want to block out. I suggest you post your VLOOKUP formula, then we can assist you. -- Hth Kassie Kasselman "vinnie123" wrote: I'm sure it is a really straightforward problem.

normally FALSE only appears with an IF function that has no value in the
FALSE section. Add something like this... =IF(condition,value_if_true,"") or =IF(condition,value_if_true," ") Some people like the space and others like the blank text. Either way the result will be a seemingly empty cell. Be careful though as neither will return TRUE with the ISBLANK function. "vinnie123" wrote: I'm sure it is a really straightforward problem.
