Put this formula in Z4:
=if(b7=0,4,"whatdoyouwanthere?") (Excel will treat an empty cell as 0.)

Hi Chuck,
Does B7 contains a formula that may give results from an error or "" or negative values ? Does B7 shall contain type-in values ? -- ***** birds of the same feather flock together..

You probably need to put Dave's formula the other way round:

If I undertsna dyour question correctly, the B7 field will either be blank
(as in this case) or have a value between 0 and 4.... The formula I am looking for will "look" at that B7 cell and either return with a blank or zero (in the case of a blank B7 cell) or return with a value of 4 if a value of 0 - 4 is entered into B7.... Hope this wasn't too confusing... Could it be some type of formatting issue? "driller" wrote: Hi Chuck, Does B7 contains a formula that may give results from an error or "" or negative values ?

Share your formula.
And what's in B7. Maybe... =if(trim(b7)="",0,if(b7=0,4,0)) (Don't use "0" if you want a real number--not text.) Chuck_in_Mo wrote: Dave, I put a zero between the quotes, to reflect the balnk field...

Hi Mo,
from the original post.. if B7 has a vlaue of greater than or equal to 0, return a value of 4 to cell Z4, this means IF B7=0 THEN 4 if cell B7 is empty return a value of 0 to cell Z4... this means IF B7="" THEN 0 =if(b7="",0,4) -----this may be the case then you mentioned a while ago and either return with a blank or zero (in the case of a blank B7 cell) this means IF B7="" THEN RETURN "BLANK" OR 0 ! or return with a value of 4 if a value of 0 - 4 is entered into B7.... " this means IF AND(B7=0,B7<=4) THEN 4 =IF (B7="","",IF(AND(B7=0,B7<=4),4,"don't exceed 4")) Are these something you can work with? regards regards -- ***** birds of the same feather flock together..

In which case, if your cell looks blank but returns the 4, you've probably
got one or more spaces (or other invisible characters) in a text string in B7. What does =LEN(B7) give you? If it doesn't return 0, go into B7 and delete the spaces or whatever is there. -- David Biddulph "Chuck_in_Mo" wrote in message ... Thanks again... still getting the 4 value though....

As far as I can tell, Excel treats a blank cell as zero(0) so =0 will
return 4. Try it with 0 and see what occurs.

Thats it..... The formula wasn't working unless I clicked in the blank cell and hit the delete key, so, although it looked empty, it had something in it!
