I need a cell to be blank.
 
I'm linking cells from another worksheet and I have two questions
which are somewhat related.

1. When I link the cell using ='Worksheet2'A2 the cell that I'm using
puts a 0 or 0:00 if the 'Worksheet2'A2 cell is blank. I would like
this cell to be blank until information has been entered in to the
'Worksheet2'A2 cell. How would I do this?

2. I have two cells next to each other; let's say they are
'Worksheet1'A1 and 'Worksheet1'A2. Both cells are linked to another
cell on 'Worksheet2' using ='Worksheet2'A1 and ='Worksheet2'A2
formula. I would like to make it so that if 'Worksheet1'A1 is blank
then the data in 'Worksheet1'A2 is blank also.

Thanks for your help.

I need a cell to be blank.
 
1. Use this formula:

=IF('Worksheet2'!A2="","",'Worksheet2'!A2)

2. Try this in sheet1 A2:

=IF(A1="","",IF('Worksheet2'!A2="","",'Worksheet2' !A2)

Hope this helps.
