Excel 0 and Blank fields.
I am working on a spreadsheet that is relatively simple, but I need to have empty cells and cells input with a 0 to give a referenced cell different values. I have used the following formulas to do this for a cell with a 0 in it but I have found that this interprets an empty cell the same as a cell with a 0 in it. Cell C2 Ex.1: =IF (A2+A3=0), " " , SUM (A2:A3) RESULTS: If I enter a 0 in A2 or A3 or if I leave A2 or A3 empty the returned value will be blank. Cell C2 Ex.2: =IF (A2+A3= " " ), " " , SUM (A2:A3) RESULTS: I get the same results as Ex.1. A B C 1 Input Data Output Data 2 3 00 What I need is: IF (A2 AND A3= Blank ) THEN return blank, ELSE SUM (A2:A3) [even if the value(s) entered into A2 and/or A3 is/are 0 or any combination of zeros and blanks, I need it to return a 0.] Thanks for any input. |
