what do the "" mean in a formula
I am modifying a spreadsheet with a formula which looks something like this,
+IF(V2="","",......) The value in V2 represents the ID of the first column in an array with information used to calculate distances between 2 points, the corresponding points of which are represented as ID's in column V and W. I cannot find anything in the help menu for the use of the empty string value. Regards Nick |

Hi,
The formula should read =IF(V2="","",......) and it means if V2 = Null return Null Null being an empty string Mike "NJB" wrote: I am modifying a spreadsheet with a formula which looks something like this, +IF(V2="","",......)

If it were written as =IF(V2="A","B",....) If V2 equals "A" then return "B"
it might be easier to see but ""= null as Mike pointed out. "Mike H" wrote in message ...
