continuing formula when cells are empty
I am creating worksheet for use where I want to carry on the forumla down the
worksheet, even though cells are empty. My formula is =(B6-B5)/ABS(B5) I get the error message "#DIV/0!" I have tried the following and the cells still inputs error value. I want the error value not to display. I want the cell to remain blank. =IF(ISERROR(B7-B6)/ABS(B6),"",(B7-B6)/ABS(B6)) and =IF((B8-B7)/ABS(B7)=0,"") Please help. I'm looking for this function for several other worksheets as well. Is there an option or conditional format I can use to eliminate the error values from being displayed? Thank you! Cyrus |

Cyrus, You are missing some parenthesis from your first formula to incorporate the ISERROR function. =IF(ISERROR((B7-B6)/ABS(B6)),"",(B7-B6)/ABS(B6)) Cheers, Steve -- SteveG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SteveG's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=7571 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=513700 |
