Don't want #value in cell
Hello this is my formula =IF(Q3-P3=0,"",Q3-P3) There are not always
numbers in columns Q and P . so when P and Q are blank with this formula I get an answer of #value! . How can I correct the formula so that if P and Q are blank my answer should also be a blank cell thanks so much |

Don't want #value in cell
Try using ISERROR() to work around the #VALUE
=IF(ISERROR(IF(Q3-P3=0,"",Q3-P3) ),"", IF(Q3-P3=0,"",Q3-P3) ) Generically speaking it's IF(ISERROR(Your formula goes here),Do something here,your formula goes here) -- Kevin Backmann "Wanna Learn" wrote: Hello this is my formula =IF(Q3-P3=0,"",Q3-P3) There are not always numbers in columns Q and P . so when P and Q are blank with this formula I get an answer of #value! .

Check for the error and return the blank if it is an error:

If P and Q are blank, you'll get a blank answer, not #VALUE!, so I guess
that in your case P and/or Q aren't actually blank but have perhaps spaces or other non-printing characters. Other contributors have given ideas as to how to address the problem. -- David Biddulph "Wanna Learn" wrote in message ...
