    Question How Do I Keep This Cell Blank Until Data is Entered?

    Here is the formula I am using in H2.
    =IF(COUNTIF(H3:H10,"F"),"Fail","Pass")

    What I want to be able to do is have H2 show blank (right now it is showing Pass) until all the cells in the range (H3:H10) have a P, F, or NA entered. Is that possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe:

    =IF(COUNTIF(H3:H10,"<>"&"?*"),"","Pass")

    Found one that worked. Thank you! I used =IF(COUNTIF(H3:H10,"<>"&"?*"),"",IF(COUNTIF(H3:H10,"F"),"Fail","Pass")). Much appreciated!
