Default ISBLANK Formula Help

I am hung up on a formula. I am not getting the blank cell as a result.
Please help!

What I am looking for:
If cell BF is empty, I need a blank cell returned. If it has a numerical
value in it, I need the formula (BF4-Y4)/Y4 returned.

This is the formula that I have currently:

=IF(ISBLANK(BF),(""),((BF4-Y4)/Y4))

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BF is a column (which is a collection of many cells).

Do you want to return a blank if ALL the cells in column BF are blank?
or
Do you want to return a blank if ANY of the cells in column BF are blank?
or
Do you want to return a blank if a specific cell in column BF is blank?

BF is not a cell, it's a column header

=IF(BF4="","",(BF4-Y4)/Y4)
