Keeping cells blank even though formula is input
 

I have the following formula in my work sheet in cell U1237
=IF(K1237=2,(U1236+1.3),IF(K1237<=1,U1236+1)) however when I drag this formula down it calculates blank cells as a 0 and returns a figure. How do I keep the below cells blank whilst keeping the formula. When I try the Isblank method I just get an error saying too many arguments. Thanks

Hi

=IF(K1237="","",IF(K1237=2,(U1236+1.3),IF(K1237<= 1,U1236+1)))

HTH
Mick.

How about:

=IF(K1237="","",IF(K1237=2,(U1236+1.3),IF(K1237<= 1,U1236+1)))

Does that do what you're after?

I presume K1237 is never between 1 and 2, e.g. 1.5. Otherwise, your formula
would be flawed to start with. So you might write:

=IF(K1237="","",IF(K1237=2,U1236+1.3,U1236+1))

No need to test K1237<=1. That is implied when K1237=2 is false.

Hi Mick
Thanks very much that has done the trick :-)

Thanks Spencer yes it does :-)
