Default "Flase" overwriting value in cell...want to preserve existing valu

Hi all:

I have a formula that checks column A for a "Yes" or "No".
If "Yes" I want to leave the value (whole number) in Column B intact (this
is where I'm having a problem).
If column A has a "No" I want to blank out the value in column B.

I place the following formula in cell B1 and drag down to apply to all of
the B column: =IF(A1="No"," ")

The problem is if column A has a "Yes" it does not retain the value in
column B, rather it overwrites it with "False".

How can I prevent this from happening?

Thanks!
