Hi,
I've written a spreadsheet to help with quoting engineering work. In the section for entering all the spare parts, there are 3 columns for part no., supplier and description. If the supplier code is 'stock', then a formula in the description column looks up the part no. in our stocklist workbook and returns the description of the part. This all works fine.
If the supplier code isn't 'stock' then the user must enter the description manually. This overwrites the formula but isn't a problem.
A problem occurs, however, if a non stock item is entered but then changed to a stock item afterwards. The formula has been overwritten and so doesn't return the description from the stocklist.
Is there any way to allow the value to be deleted from the cell without deleting the formula? Or is there a blindingly simple way to do this?!!
