Default formula shows false

I realize I needed to be clearer with my question. I have the following formula
=IF(AND(A2="poplar",B2=1),2*C2*D2/144+0.05*C2*D2/144) this returns the word
FALSE in the target cell. Once I enter the correct information it will do the
math. Is there a way to not see the word FALSE on the sheet? I would rather
see a blank cell, or a 0.

Thanks,
Mike

=IF(AND(A2="poplar",B2=1),2*C2*D2/144+0.05*C2*D2/144,"")


for blank or


=IF(AND(A2="poplar",B2=1),2*C2*D2/144+0.05*C2*D2/144,0)


for zero

After your formula, and before the closing parenthetical, type a comma
followed by double quotes "" or by a 0 depending on what you prefer.

Try this:

=IF(AND(A2="poplar",B2=1),2*C2*D2/144+0.05*C2*D2/144,"")

If you want a 0 just replace the quotes "" with a 0.
