get Cell to not display ( $ - )
hi, i have cells that are formatted for accounting and the cell formula
contains the SUM feature, when the cells are empty and waiting for a value, they display ($ -) and so i have those symblos everywhere and would like the cell just to be blank and then show up with the dollar sign when a value appears in it. Any ideas? thanks |

Try this. There might be an easier one, but this is what I use.
S 14 5 15 5 =IF(SUM(S14:S18)=0,"",(SUM(S14:S18))) 16 5 17 5 18 5 -- Thanks!

In that case, try: =IF(COUNT(S14:S18)=0, "", SUM(S14:S18)) ----- original message ----- "Morgan" wrote: thanks it works -- thanks "mahlandj" wrote: Try this.
