slight variation when working with separate worksheets
Please tell me why the following two scenarios show different results:
Scenario One: When working with just one worksheet: In cell A1 I have a completely blank cell with no value. In cell A2, I type "=A1" (without quotes). The result shows in A2, naturally, another blank cell. Scenario Two: When I have two worksheets Wrksht1 and Wrksht2: In Wrksht1 in cell A1 I have a completely blank cell. Now I go over to Wrksht2 to cell A1 and type "=Wrksht1!A1" (without quotes). It shows the value 0. Why is the result in A2 of Wrksht2 not showing a completely blank cell like in scenario one? Why does it change to a zero? |

OK I now understand that this problem has nothing to do with different
worksheets at all. I have now gotten the two different values in the same worksheet. It appears to me to be a formatting error. |

You could use a formula like:
=if(a1="","",a1) or =if(sheet1!a1="","",sheet1!a1) And not have to worry about formatting. Mr. Snrub wrote: OK I now understand that this problem has nothing to do with different worksheets at all.
