Default Hide the answer to an equation until all values are inputed

I am trying to hide the answer to my equation until all the values have been
put into the spreadsheet.

Anyone know how to do this?

Say input cells are A1, A2, etc. then
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(A1),ISBLANK(A2), etc.),"",yourformula)

Another option
In D1: =IF(COUNTA(A1:C1)<3,"",<yourformula)
where formula precedents are A1,B1,C1

Smarter if precedents are in a contiguous range!

But it works even for discontiguous ranges, Stefi,
eg: =IF(COUNTA(A1:C1,A3,C3:C4)<6,"",<formula)

Yes, that's true. Another idea for Anna to make still simpler the formula:
create a named range consisting of precedent cells, say "precedents", in this
case the formula:
=IF(COUNTA(precedents)<6,"",<formula)
