default values in a cell
Hello, can you help me please
Cell B1 contains a complex mathematical formula which requires (in several places) a number from cell A1. Cell A1 can contain any integer number, but it is usually the same (30). I would like to be able to leave cell A1 empty, and only enter a number when it is not 30 , ie the default value of A1 is 30, unless specified. How do I go about this ? Should I look at conditional formatting, or put lots of IF functions into an already complex formula? Thank as always KK |
default values in a cell
Use 2 cells
Modify the complex formula to use B1 rather than A1 ( or any other un-used cell) In B1 enter: =IF(A1="",30,A1) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200908 "KRK" wrote: Hello, can you help me please Cell B1 contains a complex mathematical formula which requires (in several places) a number from cell A1.
