Default Keep cell blank if condition is false in IF function

How do I keep the cell blank if the condition is false. Even if I don't put
anything in the false condition it keeps putting False in the cell, I want to
leave it blank.

Note that this makes the cell look blank, but Excel still treats it as if it
contains text. This has implications if the cell is used for subsequent
calculations or as a chart's source data.
