    1/0/1900 error when cell blank, how to remove?

    Hi all,
    I have the following formula in my sheet and need to figure out how, if cells below are blank, to make this a zero number or no value or something so that it doesn't show 1/0/1900 date.

    the Formula:
    =MIN(L26:INDEX(L26:L10020, IFERROR(MATCH("Task Category 1", C26:C10020,0)-1, 9000)))

    I have attached a screen shot to assist!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Go to File, Options, Advanced and scroll about 3/4 down. Uncheck where it says: "Show a zero in cells that have zero value"

    Can't see your pic.

    1/0/1900 is 0 formatted as a date.

    This will return a blank:

    =IFERROR(1/(1/MIN(L26:INDEX(L26:L10020, IFERROR(MATCH("Task Category 1", C26:C10020,0)-1, 9000)))),"")

    Really Close Tony Valko,
    When I put in that formula, the cell next to it, with the "formula =L24+K24-1" went to #VALUE so created an error. Any ideas on that. I attached a screen shot of that action!
    Thanks

    Hi Tony,

    I tried this and it seams to work! =IFERROR(1/(1/(L24+K24-1)),"")

    Thank you for your help and assistance! Very much appreciated!

    If L24 or K24 contain formulas that return formula blanks "" then you'll get the #VALUE! error if you try to do math operations on them:

    =L24+K24-1

    Thanks for the feedback!
