I am trying to copy a formula down a column. When I copy the formula down I
want the cell to be blank until i fill out the cells to give me my balance.
My three columns are
Debit / credit / balance. My formual reads : f7(balance column)+e8(credit
column)-d8 (debit column)

when i copy the formula down form my balance column it gives me the balance
in every cell. I would like for it to be blank until i fill in my debits and
credits. I hope you understand the way i wrote this

thanks

much

You can try the formula:
=IF(AND(D8 = 0,E8 = 0),"",F7+E8-D8)
if you want the cell to be blank until a number is entered into either/both
debit or credit columns.

or:
=IF(D3 = 0,"",F2+E3-D3)
if you are interested in if debit is not blank.

or:
=IF(E3 = 0,"",F2+E3-D3)
for credit not blank.

You will have to enter a number in either column D or E on each row (for any
of the 3 formulas) or you will get a #value error on entry of a number after
a completely blank line.
