Default referencing a cell on another sheet

I want "F1" (on sheet 2) to display what is on sheet
1 "K3".

If "K3" (sheet 1) is empty, I want "F1" (sheet 2) to be
blank.

I should be able to write a formula but I'm having trouble
with the syntax.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Insert the following formula in cell F1 on Sheet 2:

=if('Sheet 1'K3="","",'Sheet1'K3)

Here is one approach:

F1: =IF(LEN(Sheet1!K3)0,Sheet1!K3,"")

Glenn
now that makes sense.. but can you explain the difference?

=sheet1!k3

=if(sheet1!k3="";"";sheet1!k3)

Gord,

IMHO your function is needless, unless you can
explain the difference with a simple reference =sheet1!k3

Hi keepITcool

Tried your function =sheet1!k3 and it places a zero in the cell.
Whereas Glenn's & Gord leaves the cell blank which was what the op asked for.
Do you configure Excel to not show a single zero's values in a cell?

regards Bob C.
