Return an empty cell
The following formula will return an empty value if the condition is true:
=IF(SUM(C3:E3)=0,"",(C3+D3)/SUM(C3:E3)) My problem is that when I go to chart the data, the chart treats this entry as zero. I have the options set to leave gaps for empty cells, but it still treats this entry as zero instead of empty. Is there a way I can have my formula truly return an empty cell so it will not be plotted? Thank,s Mike. |

You could try:
=IF(SUM(C3:E3)=0,na(),(C3+D3)/SUM(C3:E3)) Then use conditional formatting to hide that error (so it's prettier).
