    List not omitting blank cells....??

    I'll choose like $A$1:$A$100 as the list and the "Ignore blank cells" is checked, but when I create the list, all of the blanks are still included.

    The list of $A$1:$A$100 contain if statements of

    =IF(Main!$A1="","",Main!$A1)

    Does that make a difference?
    Can anybody help?

    A cell with a formula cannot be blank.

    Your formula only makes it look blank.
