If A1 is zero, A2 is blank
I am trying to make an adjacent cell blank if the related cell is zero. I
have tried conditional formatting and IF formatting, but I still can't get it to work. Can someone tell me how to do this? |
If A1 is zero, A2 is blank
- if blank means EMPTY then it can't be achieved by formulas as it literally means EMPTY - no constants, no formulas (you'll need
macros for that) - if blank means STRING OF ZERO LENGTH ("") then you can try the following formula in [A2]: =IF(A1=0,"",MyAlternative) the string of 0 length looks like blank, but technically is not blank and behaves differently in most situations (not in all though). -- KL [MVP - Microsoft Excel] RU: http://www.mvps.ru/Program/Default.aspx ES: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/?LN=es-es EN: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/?LN=en-us Profile: https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...A-9E6C73C09A36 "woitena1" wrote in message ...

Even a vacuum takes up space, no? Beege |
