Ignoring blank cells
Hi
I am using this formula in cell B1 =Sign(A1) It works but if A1 is blank it shows #VALUE! I would like the formula to ignore blank cells and appear blank. Thanks |

Ignoring blank cells
This should suffice:
=IF(A1="","",SIGN(A1)) Think you were hitting the text zero length null strings: "" (return by formulas) rather than real blanks in the VALUE error. Real blanks would be evaluated by SIGN to return zero. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Neil" wrote: Hi I am using this formula in cell B1 =Sign(A1) It works but if A1 is blank it shows #VALUE!
