    add if blank cell then return "" to existing formula

    Hello,
    I have the following formula and am trying to also add to this the condition that if Cell K and I are blank then the return would be ,"", blank

    =IF(AND(K13>=0.479167,I13<=0.479167),K13-I13-"00:30",K13-I13)

    I have tried adding the ,"" several places and adding more if and statement to no avail.

    It is for adding hours and subtracting a 30 min lunch based on if before or after 11:30 the rest of the formula works as it should, however if my cells are blank it displays#Value and I want it to display blank.

    Please help.

    Thanks,
    Cristy

    I would think this would do it for you... =IF(AND(K13="",I13=""),"",IF(AND(K13>=0.479167,I13< =0.479167),K13-I13-"00:30",K13-I13))

    What is meant to happen if one or other of the cells is blank? The formula doesn't cover that.

    I took Cristy at their word that both are blank...

    I was asking Christy, sorry - I should have made that clear! You've provided a perfect solution based on what she asked.
