    Need help changing the value of a cell to blank

    Example below. I would like the current column to reflect blank rather than zero. It is making it so the formulas in the "needed" "cost" and "$ worth in stock" columns are giving me what is seen below instead of remaining blank until a value is entered into the "current" row. Thanks!




    PRICE PER LOT l IDEAL IN STOCK l MIN IN STOCK l CURRENT l NEEDED l COST l $ WORTH IN STOCK


    $16.97 l 10 l 6 l l 10 l $169.70 l FALSE

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    It's hard to make out what you have there, but if you want to show nothing until something is entered into another cell, try something like this...

    =if(a1="","",A1)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thank you for the welcome! What I am trying to do is have the blank cell reflect no value until something is entered in said blank cell. The other cells currently have formulas that are based on the blank cell and are showing values if it is left blank.

    Re: Need help changing the value of a cell to blank

    o.K., I am not the most experienced at excel. In one cell I have a basic =a1-a2 formula. Can you tell me how I would write it to combine the formula you have and the existing one?

    for something like that, it would look like this...
    =if(a1="","",a1-a2)
    or depending on which cell would be empty...
    =if(a2="","",a1-a2)
