Hide formula
We are doing a time card and have this formula: =MAX(0,37.5-M8) when we
insert the formula in the cell and theres no hours for that pay period it shows 37.5 how can we hide the formula so the cell is blank. |

Thanks, but it didn't work . Again, when we copy the cell down the sheet if
the others cells are blank, then the 37.5 apears until numbers are entered. Can the formula be "hidden" so cell is blank?

Where are the numbers entered, the only thing that changes in this formula
when copied down is the cell reference and if M8 is blank then my formula returns a blank, thus copied down it will change to M9, M910 and so on like =IF(M9="","",MAX(0,37.5-M9) so it should work How exactly does the formula look that you copy down, of course if it is not blank it will return the MAX part, blank means empty and not space or something -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "skateblade" wrote in message ...

Thanks again, The M9 cell Contains this formula: =SUM(I13:L13) and there are
nothing in the I9:L9 rage of cells and when I try your formula it returns 37.5. Ineed the cell to be blank if if the answer to the formula is 37.5 "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Where are the numbers entered, the only thing that changes in this formula when copied down is the cell reference and if M8 is blank then my formula returns a blank, thus copied down it will change to M9, M910 and so on like =IF(M9="","",MAX(0,37.5-M9) so it should work How exactly does the formula look that you copy down, of course if it is not blank it will return the MAX part, blank means empty and not space or something -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "skateblade" wrote in message ...

Ok, that should be easy to fix, the reason is that the sum formula returns 0
=IF(M9=0,"",MAX(0,37.5-M9) that would work if the values in I13:L13 never are negative otherwise use =IF(COUNTBLANK(I13:L13)=4,"",MAX(0,37.5-M9)) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "skateblade" wrote in message ...

Hide formula
Thanks again for your time.
I tried the =IF(M9=0,"",MAX(0,37.5-M9) formula and excel tells me that ti's wrong and I should add a ) at the end of the formula. i added it and it works great now thanks. However, the colum next to it has this formula and it is now reading #VALUE! the formula in that cell is: =SUM(M9-N9+O9) how can I change it.

Try
=SUM(M9,-N9,O9) or =IF(M9=0,"",your_formula -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "skateblade" wrote in message ... Thanks again for your time.

Hide formula
In the cell containing the formula you want to hide:-
Select Format Cells, Protection, click Hidden (leave locked ticked) Then:- Tools Protection, Protect Sheet (give a password if you want) Now the formula should be hidden |

Hide formula
Thanks again for your time, I used =IF(M9=0,"",MAX(0,37.5-M9) it's great, it worked. Now in our I have another colum that looks at the one we just did the formula in it is: =-O9 and this cell gives me a #VALUE. Like the other, can you please tell me how I can get it blank when there no data in the line of cells.
