Default ERROR problem with Formula

Hi,
Still having an issue-formula reads:

=IF(AND('Pietra Majella DI'!$I$34<"",'Pietra Majella Ware'!$I
$34<""),"ERROR",DI&WARE)


But ERROR is the message I'm getting even though there is only 1 cell
that has info. It should be reading 2-error should only come up if
both Ware and DI cells are filled by mistake.


Anyone have suggestions?


Thanks

Are you sure that the cells weren't "cleared" by pressing the spacebar,
in which case, they aren't blank?

Try:

=IF(AND(LEN(TRIM('Pietra Majella DI'!$I$34)) 0, LEN(TRIM('Pietra
Majella Ware'!$I$34)) 0), "ERROR", DI&WARE)

Yes. The spacebar doesn't "clear" anything - it inserts space characters
in the cell.

And while merged cells are the spawn of the devil, and should never be
used, not even once, they aren't the problem in this case.

The formula I gave you works with "spaced", merged cells.

Still confused. I'm getting a #NAME? result now. Even though I typed
in: 2 cs into 1 of the sheets cell. Any new suggestions?

Thanks

What formula and what values of the input cells gave you #NAME?
