Deleting Cell Content
 
The only thing I can think of is to set the font color to white which will
cause the cell to appear empty. You probably would want to protect the cell
to prevent its being ovwewritten.

Hi Altec

Maybe you can clear the cells that the formula use and have the formula display "" if the cell or cells are empty.
What do you want to do exactly ?

Re-write your OLDformula like this:

=IF(A1="","",OLDFormula)

and blank out A1 when you want the cell to appear blank.
