FORMULA
I have the following formula in Cell H4
= cell C5 (which is the end date) minus cell C10 (which is the start date) I want to add another formula in Cell H4 to make it = 0 if Cell C10 is empty. Thank you. -- KK |

Try this in H4:

Depends on your definition of "empty". I suspect you mean: __appears__ empty. The simplest formula is: =if(C10="", 0, C5 - C10) Do not use IF(ISBLANK(C10),"",...). ISBLANK returns true only when the cell is truly empty; that is, no formula and no constant. If you use the formula above in H4, H4 might be an example of a cell that __appears__ empty, but ISBLANK(H4) is FALSE. |

FORMULA
The formula is in H4 - I want to use both formula C5-C10 =, but if C10 is

But you can still use simply IF(C10="",0,...), and I still think that is preferrable to IF(ISBLANK(C10),0,...). ----- original message ----- "Kay" wrote in message ...
