    Question Cell has added text to data, need to be blank if no data.

    I have a cell that shows data from 2 cells in another sheet. In that cell I have it showing the words Port and then data from C1 and then a - and then the data from F1.

    Here's the formula:

    ="Port "&'Sheet 4'!C1 &"-"&'Sheet 4'!F1


    If the cells in C1 and F1 are blank, it just shows: Port - ....I want it to display nothing if both of those cells are blank.

    Also, if possible, I would like it to just display the port number from F1 with no - if C1 is blank.

    Thanks in advance!!

    Hello,

    You can add an isblank formula before yours.
    So it might be like this:
    =IF(AND(ISBLANK(C1),ISBLANK(F1)),"",IF(ISBLANK(C1),"Port "&'Sheet 4'!F1,"Port "&'Sheet 4'!C1-""&'Sheet 4'!F1))

    Hope this help.

    For some reason this isn't showing anything in the cell when I enter it in. Let me remind you the data is coming from Sheet 4, ....So shouldn't all the instances of C1 and F1 have 'Sheet 4' in front of it? I am a complete novice with formulas!

    Yes, you are right, it's my bad
    The formula should look like this
    =IF(AND(ISBLANK('Sheet 4'!C1),ISBLANK('Sheet 4'!F1)),"",IF(ISBLANK('Sheet 4'!C1),"Port "&'Sheet 4'!F1,"Port "&'Sheet 4'!C1-""&'Sheet 4'!F1))

    For some reason that still didn't quite work, it would show the #VALUE in the cell. But I had a friend help me with it and he said it just needed to be shortened to this....

    =IF(AND(ISBLANK('Sheet 4'!C1),ISBLANK('Sheet 4'!F1)),"","Port "&'Sheet 4'!C1&" - "&'Sheet 4'!F1)
    Thanks again for your help!
