Hello,

I've programmed my worksheet to automatically calculate a number but
sometimes we have to enter a manual number. Is it possible to input a manual
number yet still be able to keep the programmed calculation for the same cell?

Use two cells:

Say in Z100 we usually have =A1/B1, but sometimes we want a manual value
instead. In Z100 enter:

=IF(B9="",A1/B1,B9)

so if B9 is empty, the formula is used. If B9 has a value, the value is used.

Hi Gary,

I've tried your suggestion and when entering the manual number it works but
when no manual number, the calculation does not work at all. What I'm I
doing wrong?

One possibility: You're "clearing" the manual number by using the space
bar. That leaves a space character in the cell and the comparison with
the null string fails.

If that's the case, you can use

=IF(ISNUMBER(B9),B9,A1/B1)
