Default IsBlank

Hi,

I have a colleague who wants to use the IsBlank formula as follows:

For example, the cells in column A will have some numbers in, or will have
no data in at all.

The formulae have been simplified to help:
column B will look into column A and ask If(IsBlank(A1),"",A1/10)

this works fine.
The problem arises in column C which then asks (If(IsBlank(B1),"",B1*2)

The formula doesn't see cell B1 as blank.

Is there a way to get the formula to see cell B1 as blank?

I have suggested If(B1="","",B1*2), but he doesn't want to use this and
would prefer Excel to see B1 as a blank cell.

Many thanks
