Why not use a custom number format on the cell.
Something along the lines of this.... _-* #,##0_-;-* #,##0_-;_-* ""??
_-;_-@_-

Format Cells Custom

If you want decimal places then it would look like.....

_-* #,##0.00_-;-* #,##0.00_-;_-* ""??_-;_-@_-

If you want a dash (using the decimal places)

_-* #,##0.00_-;-* #,##0.00_-;_-* "-"??_-;_-@_-

Try that.

Return blank not 0
 

Try this:

=IF((C6*2)+(E6*3)+(G6*1),(C6*2)+(E6*3)+(G6*1),"")

Return blank not 0
 

=IF((C6*2)+(E6*3)+(G6*1),(C6*2)+(E6*3)+(G6*1)," ")

Improvement: no need to multiply any value by 1:

=IF((C6*2)+(E6*3)+G6,(C6*2)+(E6*3)+G6,"")

Return blank not 0
 

Hi,

Since we are making improvements:

=IF(C6*2+E6*3+G6,C6*2+E6*3+G6,"")

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
