In a formula or function, what do the symbols "" mean.
=IF(E78=0,"",IF(E78="","",(IF(H77="",(F77+1),(H77+ 1)))))
=IF(E77=0,"",IF(E77=1,"",((E77+F77)-1))) In the formulas, what does "" mean? The first formula is in column F and the second is in column H. I trying to debug a spreadsheet written by someone who is no longer with the company and this formula only seems to partially work. If I enter a number larger than 0 in E78, then the value in F78 becomes the sum of E78 and F77, and H78 becomes the sum of E78 and H77. If I enter a 0 in E78, then nothing appears in F78 or H78, but later rows indicate a #VALUE! error. The values are correct as long as 0 is not used, but I do not understand why the formula was written as it is. |
