Blank Cells,
Thanks for your previous invaluable help, and it seems I need it again.
I have the following formula in a spreadsheet in Cell E7 =IF((ISBLANK(D7))," ",(IF((OR(ISTEXT(C7),(ISBLANK(C7)))),D7+TIME(7,0,0 ),(IF(D7<MOD(C7+TIME(12,0, 0),1),"ERR",D7+TIME(7,0,0)))))) It does work as expected except for the first part ((ISBLANK(D7))," ", Basically, what I am trying to do here is that if D7 is blank, then E7 will also be blank, else continue with the formula as shown (which incidentally works fine for the rest). Thanks in advance for your help in this. Issam |

Hi
This works OK for me! You seem to have a lot of extra brackets in the formula, but I'm guessing that is to help you track which bit does which function. -- Andy. "Issam LAdki" wrote in message ...

Thanks Andy, I cant see where it is going wrong then, becuase with me I get #VALUE in cell E7 if D7 is blank. Will keep on trying to sort this out, but anyway thanks for your help <Andy B wrote in message ... Hi This works OK for me!

Sorry I frogot to mention that D7 does contain a VLOOKUP formula, wonder if
this makes any difference Sorry about this omission "Issam LAdki" wrote in message ... Thanks Andy, I cant see where it is going wrong then, becuase with me I get #VALUE in cell E7 if D7 is blank.

It depends on what the VLOOKUP returns to D7! -- Andy. "Issam LAdki" wrote in message ...

ISBLANK() will always be false if you test a cell that has a formula. You may want to test for LEN(D7)=0 instead. #2 Don't use so many parantheses in your formula. They make it hard to tell what's going on, and easy to inadvertantly group the wrong things together, leading to unexpected results that are hard to debug. For instance, the first part of your formula =IF((ISBLANK(D7)), could be =IF(ISBLANK(D7), "Issam LAdki" wrote: Sorry I frogot to mention that D7 does contain a VLOOKUP formula, wonder if this makes any difference Sorry about this omission "Issam LAdki" wrote in message ...

Sorry about delay, but the VLOOK up return either a time, in most cases, or
in some bases a blank cell. Thanks again <Andy B wrote in message ... Hi It depends on what the VLOOKUP returns to D7! -- Andy. "Issam LAdki" wrote in message ...
