Is there a way of adding blank cells and without getting a result of 0
E.g. =sum(A1+B2) Answer is 0 is there a way of just have a blank cell Cells A1 and B2 are blank ---------------------------------------- All this to make conditional formatting to work:- Blank cell = no colour 0 = Green 1 = Yellow Between 2 and 999 = Red Hope you can help Regards |

Try this:
=IF(AND(A1="",B1=""),"",A1+B1) Hope this helps.

For a start, you don't need the SUM function if you are not asking it to sum
two or more arguments. You can use either SUM(A1,B2) or just =A1+B2. To deal with blank inputs, you could use =IF(COUNT(A1,B2)=2,A1+B2,"") if you want both inputs to be non-blank, or =IF(COUNT(A1,B2)=0,"",A1+B2) if you want either to be non-blank. -- David Biddulph "Stig - tame racing driver" wrote in message ...
