Hi,

In G4 i have the results of a formula which can be less than one.
In H4 there are whole numbers or a 0.

If the sum of G4-H4 is less than 1 then nothing.
If the sum of G4-H4 is 1 or more then the sum of G4-H4.

'=IF(SUM(G4-H4<=1),"",SUM(G4-H4))

If G4 has less than 1 or a fraction of 1 then i get the dreaded #VALUE!
thingy.

This seems to work UNLESS one of the cells feeding the formula in G4 is
empty
then i also the #VALUE! thingy.
=IF(H4="","",IF(H4<G4,G4-H4,0))

Any direction?

Possibly either of the formulas in G4 or H4 is returning a text value rather
than a numeric value.

Post those formulas, and any necessary precedents, and things may be more
clear.

--ronHi Ron,
Thx for your reply.
G4 is '=IF(C3="","",(C3/D3/E3*F3)) can have a result less than 1. IE
(.0123)

H4 is user input of a whole number.
They are both formated as number with no decimals.

C,D,E,F have numbers and are formated as number.

Hi,
your formula in G4 generate a empty value "",that is not numeric.
Is that the problem?

The formula in G4 must have generated an empty value "",that is not numeric.
Will that be the problem?

The problem arises when G4 = ""

Using "" with an arithmetic operator will result in a #VALUE! error.

In your original formula, the SUM function is redundant. Your formula:

=IF(SUM(G4-H4<=1),"",SUM(G4-H4))

is the same as:

=IF(G4-H4<=1,"",G4-H4)

and =""-n -- #VALUE!

However, the SUM function, properly used, is not limited in this way. So you
could rewrite your formula:

=IF(SUM(G4,-H4)<=1,"",G4-H4)

to avoid the error in the situation where G4 = ""
