Want "$0", not "VALUE" to print
I want to use a formula without a function so the word
"VALUE" doesn't print out. (Invoice) I multiply 10 rows of 2 colums, say C and H. C is quantity and H is price. If there is no quantity ordered in C, I want $0 to print out, NOT "VALUE" Thanks! |

If you are multiplying H1 by C1 your formula would be
=H1*C1 If either C1 or H1(or both)have no value the formula will return a zero, not an error. Show us the formula(s) you use.

One more thought.
Your formula may be an array formula and you are not using CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to enter it.

That's what I use.
The problem is when I then copy that formula by dragging it down the column, the amount is the same all the way down, when they should be different (price is different for each row) This happens even though the formula in row 1 is =H1*C1 row 2 is =H2*C2 and C2 is a different price then C1.

Hi Steve,
Just a guess here, because I don't fully understand your problem. The #VALUE! error should only show in a multipication formula if one of the values is text, are you maybe using an O instead of a zero. Another possibility is that some cells are preformatted as text. Try copying a blank cell, then selecting all of column H then going EditPaste Special click 'add' and OK out. Do the same for column C. Does that change things for you? Martin "STEVE" wrote in message ... That's what I use.

One of the values is a blank, other is currency. Use to give me blank as
result. I tried your second suggestions, still get "VALUE". "MartinW" wrote: Hi Steve, Just a guess here, because I don't fully understand your problem.

ToolsOptionsCalculation.....set to Automatic should update the results as you
copy down. But, if you are getting the error it is because you have something other than numbers or nothing in H and/or C Also see Martin's reply to yoyr post.
