    Why does this formula show result as "FALSE"?


    If cell B56 is empty, then I need a result of "". i.e. blank result, but it shows FALSE word.

    Re: Formula Shows result as FALSE

    you dont have a false for this statement

    IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",

    then you go straight to the TRUE nested IFs

    IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",
    IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Pla",RIGHT(Table!AN4,2)&"% Discount",
    IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Gol",RIGHT(Table!AO4,2)&"% Discount",
    IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Sil",RIGHT(Table!AP4,2)&"% Discount",""))), "need something here" )

    so to get ""

    IF(LEFT(B56,2)="on",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Pla",RIGHT(Table!AN4,2)&"% Discount",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Gol",RIGHT(Table!AO4,2)&"% Discount",IF(LEFT(B$52,3)="Sil",RIGHT(Table!AP4,2)&"% Discount",""))), "" )
