Default Avoiding answer zero by multiply

Hi,
Please help me to solve my problem:

A1*A2*A3=A4

If the number for
A1=2,
A2=3,
A3=0,
then A4 answer will be zero.
How can i calculate it out with above formulation (A1*A2*A3=A4) by not
giving me the answer zero?

Thanks!!

Do you mean that your answer should not display 0 ?
Thyen try =if(a1*a2*a3=0,"",a1*a2*a3)

Note: that will work with blanks, but not 0 values.

Bernie


Try this:

=PRODUCT(A1,A2,A3)

Sorry!
Product will work with an *empty* cell, not when a cell contains an actual 0
value.

Hi,
Bernie's formula works for me.
Did you enter the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter as recommended ?
