###### Wrong Formula
What do you want to get if K29 has no value? this will give you N28 =IF(J29="","",SUM(N28,K29)) -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=559290 |

###### Wrong Formula
what is format are you using? What is the value of N28?
*Pasted from help* A ##### error value occurs when the cell contains a number, date, or time that is wider than the cell or when the cell contains a date and/or time formula that produces a negative result.

###### Wrong Formula
I use this formula for Cell N29: =IF(J29="","",N28+K29) I think what I want is if both cell nos. J29 and K29 have no value, the formula for N29 to be blank instead of showing ###### I don't know how to do it IF(J29 and K29="","",N28+K29) Or do I need to use the AND( formula if both J29 and K29 are blank? -- Ningster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ningster's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36052 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=559290 |

###### Wrong Formula
hi Ningster, The below shows two approaches using the AND function: =if(and(isblank(j29),isblank(k29)),"",N28+K29) or =if(and(j29="",k29=""),"",N28+K29) As Sloth mentioned the ##### effect could be caused by the values contained within the cells, what type of data is in them? hth Rob Brockett NZ Always learning & the best way to learn is to experience... -- broro183 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ broro183's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30068 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=559290 |

###### Wrong Formula
=IF((J29="")*(K29=""),"",N28+K29)
I was trying to figure out why you are getting the ###### error. If K29 contained "" you would get a #VALUE! error instead of a ######. I thought maybe N29 was formatted as a date and N28 was a negative number. That would give you a ###### error. Or having the cell to thin would also give you the ###### error. Just because a referenece cell is blank won't give you that error. "Ningster" wrote: I use this formula for Cell N29: =IF(J29="","",N28+K29) I think what I want is if both cell nos.
