Hi
I have credits in c2 and debits in f2 and the running total in h2 but I do
not want h2 to display anything if there is no number in either c2 or f2. I
have an idea it should look something like this
=If (c1 and f1="","",(h1-c2+f2)) but this does not work and I am not sure
about how to tie the IF & AND functions together to achieve my objective.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Peter

Try this:

=IF(AND(C2="",F2=""),"",H1-C2+F2)

HTH,
Elkar

Many thanks Elkar, Just what I needed. I have played with this for a couple
of hours and the answer looks so simple.

"if there is no number in either c2 or f2"

I think OR function instead of AND function

=IF(OR(C2="",F2=""),"",H1-C2+F2)

Hi, the only problem with this is that it needs entries in both c2 & f2 or
it displays nothing, and that is the thing I am trying to avoid, if there is
a number in either c2 or f2 then I want h2 to be visible. I did a bit of
playing with your idea and came up with
=IF(OR(C2<"",F2<""),H1-F2+C2,"") which works.
Many thanks for the idea, I would never have thought of doing it that way!!
