Leaving a total sum cell blank until other cells are filled
Hi there, some help needed please for probably a simple problem.
Lets say I have a value in cell A1. A2 is blank for now and the total of the SUM will be in A3. How can i get it so that A3 is blank until A2 is filled in. Any would be appreciated |

Try this in A3:
=IF(OR(A1="",A2=""),"",A1+A2) That checks for both A1 and A2 being empty, and if either of them are then the formula will return a blank. If you only want to test for A2, then you can do this: =IF(A2="","",A1+A2) No need for SUM. Hope this helps.
